Seems kind of fitting to also provide a decent article that came out about GNU, Richard's accomplishments and how it fits with Linux.

Does anybody know of a way to send him a virtual get well card or something to that effect? Maybe from the MX Community as a whole?
From a quick search, he has a personal site:
https://stallman.org/

on which it says:
If you want to send me GPG-encrypted mail, do not trust key servers! Some of them have phony keys under my name and email address, made by someone else as a trick. See gpg.html for my real key.

I recently had the fun experience of creating an unofficial variation (Respin) of MX.
This experience would not be possible without copyleft's philosophy.
(The world of copyright only is distorted.)

He is a great person. I wish him a speedy recovery.
