RMS in Stuttgart
Today, I was at a talk held by Richard Stallman, the founder of the GNU project and ideological father of the free software movement, at the Lightwerk GmbH in Stuttgart.The talk was about software patents. I was a bit disappointed, because it was only about the usual, obvious arguments about software patents, which probably all visitors of the talk already knew. I think RMS can tell much more important things about free software and the social and political impact of it.
Nevertheless, it was worth being there. A friend of mine took a picture of me and RMS, which you can see beside.
Oh, before I forget, support the protest of the FFII against software patents.
