רצ"ב הודעתו של סטולמן לגבי ההרצאות בישראל. אני מצרף את תגובתי (שמתי אותה לאחר הודעתו של סטולמן) רק בשל העובדה שאני רואה את החלטתו של סטולמן מנוגדת לתפישה של חופש ביטוי.

They are unhappy that I offered to give talks at Israeli universities, and say they won't buy the tickets if I'm going to do that. So I can go, and cancel these speeches, or not go, and cancel these speeches. I think it is best if I go, and give the speeches they originally invited me to give. I am sorry for the disappointment this will cause. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org Skype: No way!

When we had the same goals we set it and now we do not. That might happen and even though it is not pleasant it is not totally unacceptable. However, personally I start to doubt your truthfulness about freedom. Boycotting the Israeli Universities since you get funds from Palestinians means that you accepted the Palestinians proprietary license. Neither you nor them want to help their neighbor. That is the meaning of what you are doing. Oh boy, you should really re-consider the meaning of freedom given the agreements you make. You chose the "Free beer" giving up the "Free of speech" and that disappoints me very much since it has to do with the genuinity implementation of your own presented ideas.
