Re: [Trisquel-users] Stallman on the Linux Action Show

[alonivtsan]

I actually took the time to watch the video (in OGG Theora). I think the  
interviewers were really bad, and Stallman was for the most part quite good.  
I do think though that Stallman didn't explain well enough how to earn a  
living developing custom software, and some of his claims were inaccurate  
(e.g. Apple's app store doesn't exclude free software released under a  
non-copyleft license). The problem with the iPhone is that you cannot install  
software without first removing restrictions imposed by the manufacturer  
("jailbreaking") and not just the mere existance of an app store (even free  
software repositories reject software, e.g. hot-babe was rejected by Debian  
despite being released under a license they consider free).
