At the 3rd AOSS in Hanoi this March, it just happened that RMS was in town,
so he was invited to drop in during the closing votes, etc.
He was rude to his hosts, the delegates, the Govt of Vietnam, the Japanese
organisers, etc.
He also name Bruce Perens and ESR as "traitors" to the FSF, and said that "
'Open Source' is a term coined by Brice Perens to sabotage the Free Software
Movement".
