I recall reading something in the past about Bruce Byfield making up facts. Here's another one to add:

Richard Stallman is not opposed to e-books. He has a page on his site where he recommends a particular e-book publisher: http://stallman.org/non-oppressive-ebooks.html. Of course the e-book doesn't contain DRM.

This is also interesting (in his latest news article):

> statements like those made by Richard Stallman [...] about Ubuntu's affiliate deal with Amazon are easily dismissed as being out of touch, especially when they are made two months after the story originally broke.

He made an unofficial response in October 2012 in an interview where he voiced some concerns about the Canonical/Amazon deal: http://benjaminkerensa.com/2012/10/12/richard-stallman-canonical-will-be-forced-to-hand-over-data-to-various-governments.

> However, what was significant about the free software position in 2012 was that it produced no significant story.

There's loads, actually. Planet GNU is always a good place to start.

Maybe some of what Bruce Byfield is true... I don't know. But it doesn't seem like he's exactly done any decent research on it. That's not journalism material.
