Richard Stallman interview by Jane Dudman, Network
News.
“Richard Stallman could be described as the godfather of the
Open Source movement, but not to his face. RMS, as he is
affectionately known by Open Source afficianados the world over,
has for nearly 30 years been campaigning in his own inimitable
style for free software (‘free’ as in free speech). He rejects Open
Source as a compromise, but some say he has become overly righteous
in his views.”
