I don't see why would this be the "Stallman model of software", and not any of the other business models that don't involve selling users proprietary software or closed computers. In fact, rms himself has sold copies of Emacs in the past.


I called it that because I first heard about the model that one should pay for the creation of software but not its use in the "GNU Manifesto" [1] which Richard wrote.
