We could turn this event into a French Inqusition and bend Steve Ballmer
and his Microsoft lackies over the barrel and give em a good whipping.

The description makes me think Steve Ballmer is going to tongue-pash RMS 
live on-stage, before announcing the release of Windows GPL.

Alternatively, the "freedom" is the "freedom for MSFT shareholders to 
bend their customers over a barrel", but why be a pessimist?

Clearly the keywords in the rally title, "liberation" and "freedom of
software" make it more than appropriate ;-)
