Revising the GPL

Posted by michael on from the foundation-documents dept.

    As much as you have been criticized for being an extremist in these matters, you deserve great credit for always being a visionary way ahead of his time. For example, how many people thought The Right To Read was utter nonsense when you published it long before the DMCA.

    Thank you much for your vision and steadfastness in sticking to it.
