Have you read Richard Stallman's (rms) stuff? If not, and want to know who exactly to be pissed off at for the whole free software thing, you should :) He is the guy who founded the GNU project, and runs FSF. Stallman essentially thinks free software is a human right...and is very passionate about it.
I'll go out on a limb though, and say most Slashdotters probably disagree with RMS and agree with Linus, in that he feels it is ok to charge for software. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Monday, September 8, 2003, 11:01:46 AM, you wrote: RC> Well, too bad he wasn't joking about the bias.
