“This is the seventh day of an email dialogue with Richard
Stallman on the philosophy of copyright that will be published over
nine days on LinuxPlanet.”
“[Stanco]:
>Since corporations come between the creators (of software,
music, books)
>and the users, there have been, and still are, abuses of BOTH
groups by
>them. But the problem is not copyright, but the power of
corporations.
[Stallman]:
Not only by corporations. There are many non-free programs whose
copyrights are owned by individuals, which have been made non-free
by individuals. I don’t think it matters morally whether the owner
of a non-free program is an individual or a corporation. If it is
non-free, it is bad.”
