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."

    Then you don't buy MonopolySoft's machine.

    If it is not possible for other machines that run Red Hat code to exist, then it's clear that Red Hat is designing the code for a specific architecture that requires signing, and therefore is required to distribute the key so that you can sign modified binaries yourself.

    Fuck that - why should the bad guys (biased statement, I know) get to name things?

    Why should any of us accept the phrase "Trusted Computing"? It's intended to be doublespeak, we should applaud RMS him for pointing it out.
