RMS on Proposed GPLv3 changes

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the this-will-be-good dept.

H4x0r Jim Duggan writes "Last Saturday - the first day of FOSDEM, Richard Stallman gave what seems to have been his first public talk about the draft GPLv3. Ciaran O'Riordan of Free Software Foundation Europe was there and, after recording with his digital camera, has published a transcript of RMS's GPLv3 talk. O'Riordan previously made a transcript of the January 16th first presentation on the GPLv3 which consists of 70 minutes of Eben Moglen, with 20 minutes worth of interruptions from Stallman."

    Eben Moglen: Yes, I was using the chalk after you went home at night. Sometimes I had ...chew it.

    Richard Stallman: Did you eat it?

    Eben Moglen: You see how it is. There was chalk involved, he just wasn't around for it. Yeh, it was curing my indigestion actually.

    you have neglected to address Richard M. Stallman with the proper respect. Don't you know you must now say Richard M. Stallman, Peace be upon Him, or, in abbreviated form, RMS(PBUH)

    Doh! It's GNU/RMS(PBUH) of course.
