John Terpstra on Challenges to Free Software

Posted by michael on from the you-want-to-fight dept.

Telex4 writes "Anyone who has read John Terpstra's article on Groklaw about Intellectual Property (IP) rights will be interested to read an interview I did recently with John at KDE's World Summit. We talked about what IP means to the free software community, how we can drive GNU/Linux adoption, and how he thinks the IT market will change in coming years. He gives us a lot to think about in terms of what more we should be doing."

    Use that language around me in the workplace and I'll slap a harassment lawsuit on your ass. Nobody should have to listen to that kind of filth in the workplace, especially homophobia.

    I'm pretty sure he meant "that fucking cheerful and festive communist bullshit." Just because you've altered the meaning of the word, doesn't mean everyone has.
