It looks like Lunduke just cut-and-pasted all the quotes that Slashdot published (presumably their transcription from the FSF's audio file) on Saturday. https:

Thanks for posting those but for the first of your two links, I think you meant: https://news.slashdot.org/story/22/04/16/2154203/richard-stallman-speaks-on-the-state-of-free-software-and-answers-questions https://news.slashdot.org/story/22/04/16/2154203/richard-sta... That is, are two different slashdot posts about the different aspects of the talk, and the above link is to the earlier of the posts.

  Ok, we've changed the URL above to that link from https://lunduke.substack.com/p/richard-stallman-the-state-of-the https://lunduke.substack.com/p/richard-stallman-the-state-of.... Thanks to both of you! We want original sources here. From the HN guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html): "Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter." (For the purposes of that guideline, copying and pasting someone else's work counts as 'reporting on'.)

    I think you got this one wrong. The original posted URL was: https://lunduke.substack.com/p/richard-stallman-the-state-of-the https://lunduke.substack.com/p/richard-stallman-the-state-of... The grandparent comment says that Lunduke ripped off Slashdot. I don't see that. There is one quote that's the same and several that I see that are different. You claim you changed it to the original source... the original source would be the Libreplanet link here: https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/the-state-of-the-free-software-movement/ https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/the-state-of-t... So both Lunduke and Slashdot are posting news about LibrePlanet and it's not clear one ripped off the other, other than having one quote that's the same. It seems like you went with the above commenters without investigating. I have no affiliation with Lunduke. I'm not a paid subscriber to his journal, I just get it by email sometimes.

      The quotes overlap just about completely, they aren't offered with any additional analysis so the 'original source' of both the curation and transcription is really those slashdot comments. There's no 'ripping off' mentioned.

      All the other quotes are from Slashdot's second story (which preceded Lunduke's) https://news.slashdot.org/story/22/04/16/2154203/richard-stallman-speaks-on-the-state-of-free-software-and-answers-questions https://news.slashdot.org/story/22/04/16/2154203/richard-sta...
