RMS Asks Miguel to Explain Himself

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-the-tempers-red-flare dept.

phaze3000 writes "RMS, responding to questions from the audience at the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil last week, has asked Miguel de Icaza to explain himself to the Free software community about comments made last week that Gnome should be based on .NET in the future. More details at Brazillian site Hotbits and in The Register." I find this amusing.

    I'm not sure Miguel *CAN* tell RMS to fuck off. Doesn't RMS hold the trademark on "GNU"?

    You're Free to do whatever you want in GNU land, as long as it's exactly what RMS wants you to do.
