I was up there and saw Tracy Reed, John Robinson. I have not seen Richard Stallman talk before so it was interesting. While his goals are laudable I don't think they are realistic. In many cases OSS, makes sense, but it's hard to see why a business would produce Free software to acomplish cetain buiness tasks in all cases. But I do think his views help to raise awareness of 'Freedom'. Microsoft's EULA is ridiculously overbearing and places unreasonable constraints on people and businesses.
