ZNet interviews Richard Stallman

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the news-from-the-far-left dept.

ProgressiveCynic writes "ZNet has just published an interview with Richard Stallman. Much of the interview will be review for Slashdot folks, intended to introduce ZNet's audience to the free software movement, but many interesting bits remain including a discussion on the outlawing of free software, patents as applied to literature, and this quote: 'I'm a Liberal, in US terms (not Canadian terms). I'm against fascism.'"

    I wonder how many Znet readers are confused out of their minds as to why he'd start with zero.
