+      One Man's Fight for Free Software</a>, an article about Richard
+      Stallman and the early GNU development, published at <cite>The
+      New York Times</cite> on January 11, 1989
+      <p>One problem with the article is that it uses the propaganda
+      term &ldquo;intellectual property&rdquo; as if that referred to
+      something coherent.  The term is such a confusion that talking
+      about it <a href="/philosophy/not-ipr.html">makes no
+      sense</a>.</p>
+      <p>The article is somewhat confused in regard to Symbolics.
+      What Stallman did, while still working at MIT, was to write,
+      independently, replacement improvements comparable to the
+      improvements that Symbolics made in its version the MIT Lisp
+      Machine System.</p></li>
