RMS on SCO, Distributions, DRM

Letter writes "Open for Business has an interview with GNU founder and free software zealot Richard M. Stallman (RMS) discussing the SCO situation, the single RMS-approved free Linux distribution and DRM in the Linux kernel. RMS also describes non-free software as a 'predatory social system that keeps people in a state of domination and division.'"

    Question: Does GNU/Linex stop you from installing non-free sotware? No, it just doesn't provide options by default. There are no restrictions here. However, having software that isn't free, may mean having restrictions.

    Hell, I'm far from an free software zealot, but I still think your point is just silly and missleading.

    Hey, the villans and heroes are determined by the folks who wrote history. Look at Moses and his exploits. You've got a murderer and Egyptian collaborator who leads a people on a journey that ends in genocide on a mass scale. His troops rolled over Caanan, slaughtering everything that moved. Yet he is all sorts of "Holy".
