"This interview is available under the Attribution No Derivatives license."
Am I the only one who finds that ironic?
- almost 17y agoNot especially, Stalman campaigns for free software and he has reasons why he thinks it's a very good idea. Those reasons don't really extend to interviews as far as I can see.
- dchest 17y agoThe reason for "No Derivatives" is that RMS doesn't want his words to be changed. Some text files inside Emacs are (c) RMS, but with a permission to copy and distribute the entire article verbatim.
- elblanco 17y agoThat's because despite his dogged persistence on the FSF GNU bit, he really doesn't care about Freedom.
- prodigal_erik 17y agoYou think what he has quite literally dedicated his life to doesn't count simply because he didn't grant you permission to put words in his mouth?
- elblanco 17y agoI think RMS is restricting my freedom to put words in his mouth.
