So, to those who actually value software freedom, there is only one relevant question right now:
Is Richard Stallman speaking at this event? If not, I will NOT attend! I shall maintain this position for the rest of my life (I'm not yet 50). If YOU can't defend those who defend software freedom, you are a fraud and a hypocrite! Play the ball, not the man - you must handle all complaints with dignity, for all parties, especially those "accused".
