Stallman is quite a character in person. I blogged a speech he gave at
a UN meeting in Geneva a few years ago:

"Stallman took several Thelonious Monk-like breaks in his
presentation. He would occasionally exercise his left arm by raising
it up and down like he was lifting dumbells. He would yawn and stretch
his torso, then arms and hands, reminscent of Kipling's description of
Father Wolf stretching his paws "one after the other to get rid of the
sleepy feeling in their tips." At one point in the middle of his
remarks he paused, announced to the audience, "I'm cold," and walked
away to find his jacket, leaving the moderator at a bit of a loss. The
audience took it all in stride, with many people grinning and enjoying
Richard's unusual style."
