"This is the fifth day of an email dialogue with Richard Stallman on the philosophy
of copyright that will be published over nine days on LinuxPlanet. This dialogue
arose from comments that RMS was kind enough to give me on a two-part
article on software licensing that appeared on LinuxProgramming recently."
"[Stanco]:
