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.

    I mean, think "smelly linux hippie" and RMS pops straight to mind. Does he really stink that bad or is it just a rumor?

  3. Mods? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    You all seem to be really fucking stupid, and you can't tell when someone is obviously
    trolling, karma whoring, bsing, etc.

    This is very simular to the modding up of anything that mentions anything positive about linux getting modded up while proving that the people moding don't read or think before moding the shit up. I guess you are too dumb to tell when YBHD.

    My question is this: when will you fuckers get a clue? Start using you brain before modding things up, read peoples historys, journals, and ask your self if it sounds too good to be true, if the person is just BSing/karma woring/etc and throwing the keyword "Linux/open source/what ever the story mentions/etc" around.
