“The latest attack on Stallman is a lengthy post by
ZDNet blogger Jason Perlow and is based on remarks that Stallman is
said to have made during the Free Software Day celebrations in
Boston.

“There is no audio or video file of the remarks, just the one
blog post by Ubuntu developer and Ubuntu evangelist Martin Owens
whom Perlow quotes.

“The relevant portion of Owens’ blog post which Perlow uses as
the basis for his attack is the claim that Stallman called Miguel
de Icaza, the current vice-president of Novell, a traitor to the
free software community.”
