I use GNU/Linux since 1994, and I am involved in both open-source, free, proprietary projects since 1992... I mostly agree with RMS on many things, but I must say GNU community reminds me of Applebots (loyal Apple users) in so many ways, that I humbly believe such attitude is ruining the nice picture GNU movement deserves. <br /><br />Just take a look at posts made by Anonymous and you will understand. :)<br /><br />Finally, let me tell you my view of GNU GPL license - it is the best *commercial* license ever made! I would use it for every software project I work on if I had the decision power. It is one of the most cleverly designed licenses I have seen - it offers freedom to the end-user, and it offers business opportunities to the vendor.

We need radicals like him.<br /><br />He is free to ask you not to geotag or publish on facebook. It is up to you to comply or not and thats what freedom is all about.<br /><br />besides, you have a ton of social networks to post to; some of them with a tendency to freedom; diaspora comes to mind.<br /><br />i am sure that people that are interested in software freedom, wouldn't mind lookig for news outside facebook; just as we did before it... ;) <br /><br />Besides, he has come a long way; he's entitled to some excentricity.Renichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295502390297621565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-86392990652330982822013-02-24T13:11:45.529+02:002013-02-24T13:11:45.529+02:00Nicu, I agree with you that he fails to see outsid...Nicu, I agree with you that he fails to see outside his niche.<br />Before this conference I didn't really know much about mister Richard other than the fact he was the father of GNU. I believed he was a fellow freedom fighter , and for software he is, but he isn't for anything beyond software.<br /><br />BTW, I am the jerk in blue fighting against IMPs (Imposed Monopoly Privileges aka.

I think it's more like if you go to see him it's because you already know all that and you will do the right thing, the only interesting part is the Q&A. Also his discourse isn't old, altough it's the same, he was right 25 years ago, he is right today.
