Eben Moglen Talks About Free Software in the Second of Two Video Interviews

Yesterday we ran a video interview with Eben Moglen, who according to Wikipedia, "is a professor of law and legal history at Columbia University, and is the founder, Director-Counsel and Chairman of [the] Software Freedom Law Center." And as we also said yesterday, since 2011 he's been working with FreedomBox, a project working toward "a personal server running a free software operating system, with free applications designed to create and preserve personal privacy." Prof. Moglen is also one of the most polished speakers anywhere, on any topic, in our opinion. So please enjoy this second video of him speaking to (and answering questions from) Slashdot readers.

Obligatory Flash bitching thread

Okay, everyone get it out of your system. Flash sucks, blah blah! Why couldn't they put it into HTML-5/Ogg/x264/whatever-the-fuck, blah blah? This won't work on my iThing and it makes Steve Jobs cry in heaven, blah blah. Everything should be DRM/proprietary-codec free, blah blah!

Okay, feel better?

Then, let's have at least a few posts to talk about the actual content (or, if need be, the lack thereof).
