LWN: Richard Stallman on Dmitry, again (Dec 18, 2001, 22:56)
"Here's a followup from Richard Stallman regarding his
statements on Dmitry Sklyarov's deal with the U.S. Department of
Justice. 'Since then, people have told me that the situation is
more complicated; that his testimony won't necessarily help the
prosecution much, and that the deal will make it easier for ELCOM
to argue its case. I'm glad to hear that things are not as bad as
they looked. So I withdraw my criticism of Sklyarov for making the
deal, and I apologize if I misjudged its nature.'"

LinuxWorld.com: MPlayer: The project from hell (Dec 18, 2001, 12:39)
"The bad news is the installation stinks, configuration is a
black art, and the documentation is barren. Worse yet, Gereoffy and
the other developers have more attitude than the law allows. At
least the law in this county, and I'm the sheriff. In just a year,
that attitude has gotten them on the wrong side of Red Hat, of
Russian developers porting a clone to OS/2, and many of their own
users."
