LinuxPlanet: Stallman/Stanco: A Dialogue on Copyright Law and Free/Open Source Software (Part 8) Jul 24, 2000, 13 :03 UTC (11 Talkback[s]) (3905 reads) (Other stories by Tony Stanco)
"This is the eighth 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. (Check out the articles at LinuxProgramming: Software Licenses and Traditional Copyright Law
and Looking at the General Public License and Open-Source Licenses.)"
"For those who are already getting bored with these emails, you should note that this series on copyright is only the beginning. There are
others between Stallman and me on the formation of a company by free developers, of free developers, for a free world that will follow
this series. The free company will be the vehicle for free developers world-wide to band together to defeat the closed-code, proprietary
scourge that threatens to enslave the world. We should all see by now where closed code will take us with things like Carnivore, if we
don't act soon."
"Unfortunately, it will take over a month to publish all the emails and unveil the plan. Though some of the emails are boring, they are
necessary, because proprietary must be stopped."
