Sorry, but it sounds as if you've bought Stallman's line of propaganda rather than what he really thinks. These come out better in a one-on-one conversation. He really does bear malice toward anyone who seeks to profit from intellectual property, and often states his intent to destroy that with which he does not agree. He has merely honed his public message to produce the desired effect on an audience, like a corrupt preacher who preaches charity and chastity but then embezzles from the collection plate and has illicit affairs. --Brett Glass At 02:35 AM 5/12/99 +1000, Stephen McKay wrote: >Richard Stallman visited my home town yesterday, and I went along to see >the renowned zealot of free software.
