Every now and then I have this crazy desire to understand what exactly
Richard Stallman is really talking about, what he would do if he could
draft some new copyright and intellectual property laws. I just read an
interview where he stated that Debian is basically not his favorite
distro. any more (though it's still on his laptop), because they
distribute some non-free software. His new favorite distro. is called
GNU/LinEx, distributed by the government of Extremadura, because it is,
"the only installable distribution that consists entirely of free
software." (I am _not_ making this up, see [1] and search on google for
"gnu/linex" and you'll see). He just seems insanse about Free with a
capital F, and I just wish to understand him better, maybe see that he
isn't insane, I mean, I like his software and lots of others do to,
maybe we are all just insane too though...
Anyway, Is there a book I could read, or some online essays to help me? The small quotes and soundbites I've heard just aren't cutting it.
Thanks,
Bryan
P.S. Maybe I don't really want to know more, if so, just don't tell me.
