Here's another question I'd be interested in hearing Stallman's reply to: In several occasions you admitted having started your Free Software efforts as a reaction, or <I>antithesis</I>, to proprietary software (e.g., your famous "printer software" anecdote). In the years that have passed, have you noticed any serious flaws in the idea of free-software, flaws that prevent the world from abandoning proprietary software altogether in favor of free software? If so, what do you think a <I>synthesis</I> between the two approaches might, or should, look like? [note to the interviewer: if this question is chosen and is to be reworded, the words "antithesis" and "synthesis" must not be reworded, as they are a deliberate choice of words, referring to the Hegelian "dialectic process"] -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Dec 24 2002, 19 Tevet 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Communism is the equal distribution of http://nadav.harel.org.il |poverty. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
