bsdtalk132 - Richard Stallman

from bsdtalk Hosted by Will Backman

Interview with Richard Stallman. He requested that the interview only be distributed in a free format, so the mp3 file is just a quick message. Please download the ogg version for the full interview. File Info: 28Min, 16MB. Ogg Link: https://archive.org/download/bsdtalk132/bsdtalk132.ogg Visit http://www.playogg.org if you have questions about the ogg format. A later note from RMS: In the interview, I said that all the BSD systems " include, in their installation systems--in some cases I believe it's called a ports system...--they all include some non-free programs". What I meant is that the non-free programs are included in the set of programs that the ports system can install. The ports system software as such is free. For me, distributing a recipe to fetch and install a non-free program is pretty much ethically equivalent to distributing a copy.
