“The chairman of the Free Software Foundation, Richard
Stallman, has called for internet file-sharing to be legalised in
order that people could benefit from sharing material that they
should rightly be able to.“Stallman was giving a talk at the RMIT University in Melbourne
today on “Copyright vs Community in the Age of Computer Networks”,
one of the lectures he is giving during a six-week stay in
Australia.“At the end of his talk, Stallman auctioned what he called “an
adorable GNU” (pic below) – a soft toy – saying, “if you have a
penguin (the Linux mascot) at home, you need a GNU because the
penguin is useless without the GNU.” This was a dig at people who
refuse to acknowledge the contribution the GNU Project has made to
GNU/Linux distributions.”
