    Stallman, Richard (2000-07-02). "The Problems of the Plan Nine License". Linux Today. Archived from the original on 2021-01-26. Retrieved 2021-05-03. When I saw the announcement that the Plan Nine software had been released as "open source", I wondered whether it might be free software as well. After studying the license, my conclusion was that it is not free [...]. I am not a supporter of the Open Source Movement, but I was glad when one of their leaders told me they don't consider the license acceptable either.
