Just hearing on BBC Radio 4's PM program (the flag ship hour long news) a
fairly resonable report on how Microsoft is being taken on by the free software
community:
RMS - sound bite from a speech in the US explaining copyleft
ESR - talking about how the hackers are taking their revenge
Linus - (from the Web) on pronunciation of Linux
Tim O'Rielly - making money from free software.
Some M$ PR guy - worried about IPR issues
Chris Nuttal was the reporter.
It was not sensationalist but simply summed up the position of RMS, ESR, Tim
and M$.
This is probably available as RealAudio from the BBC's web site:
