Stallman: Thousands Dead, Millions Deprived of Liberties (2001)

Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation, has criticized the use of proprietary software, stating that it has led to the deaths of thousands of people and deprived millions of their liberties. He attributes this to the forced use of proprietary software in hospitals and clinics, which can lead to medical errors due to the lack of transparency and accountability in the code.
