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.

Do you see a contradiction in RMS's pressure to have people prefix Linux with GNU (credit where credit is due), and his assertion that the BSD license isn't (wasn't?) "Free" because it forced you to include copyright notices (which is also "credit where credit is due")?
