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."

    Wait you're complaning that his license reflects his views?!?! SHOCK HORROR!

    You whole post is nonsense.

    * You don't like blind followers of X (well who says they do like blind followers of anything?)
    * RMS lacks compramize(sic) - So he sticks to his principles.
    * He puts his views in his license... duh
    * "I tend to follow the notion that it is up to the developer to decide which license to use" - duh again - who said that we should force someone who writes new code to chose a particular license?

    Did you make a single useful point at all?
