Ask FSF General Counsel Eben Moglen

Posted by Roblimo on from the liberty-needs-all-the-defenders-she-can-get dept.

Columbia Law School professor Eben Moglen has been the Free Software Foundation's (pro bono) general counsel since 1993. He's also involved with the Electronic Frontier Foundation and has been mentioned on Slashdot a number of times because of his participation in these groups and some of the worthy causes they support, as well as other freedom-related matters. One question per post, please. We'll run Prof. Moglen's answers to 10 of the highest-moderated questions as soon as he gets them back to us.

    Was there ever a time when you had to bring some FSF geeks in to court for their expert testimony? How did you manage to clean them up for the courthouse? Was there any beard trimming and/or suit shopping?

    Sir,

    Does RMS refer to you as the "GNU/General Counsel"?

    Mr. Moglen,

    Your campaign seems to have the momentum of a run-away freight train. Why are you so popular?

    Finally, math books without any of that base 6 crap in them.
