Thanks for sharing your opinion Andrew. As I mentioned on Saturday at Software Freedom Day when you made the same comment during my talk, I admire the ability of great activists such as Stallman to take a firm stance and stick with it, despite what others say. Far from "drowning", in 28 short years, the free software movement changed the world by writing a fully-free operating system. It may still be "raining" proprietary software, but Stallman is paddling merrily along in his free software canoe, whistling Hungarian folk tunes. :) Ben _______________________________________________ Free-software-melb mailing list [email protected] http://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb
