Interviews: Ask Richard Stallman a Question

Posted by samzenpus on from the go-ahead-and-ask dept.

RMS founded the GNU Project, the Free Software Foundation, and remains one of the most important and outspoken advocates for software freedom. He now spends much of his time fighting excessive extension of copyright laws, digital restrictions management, and software patents. RMS has agreed to answer your questions about GNU/Linux, how GNU relates to Linux the kernel, free software, why he disagrees with the idea of open source, and other issues of public concern. As usual, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post.

    Well given that on his news website he says:

    01 May 2015 (Bernie Sanders running for president)

    In fact if you go right to stallman.org it's current front and center at the top.
