To sum up: Anyone that *I* care to converse and deal with will come to the same conclusions I have come to about Mr. Stallman's very public writings, which are not open to subjective interpretation of their meanings due their explicit advocacy of expropriation of software from its authors and the wealth acruing therefrom to the authors. One read through the 3/85 Dr. Dobb's issue and through the revealing description in Levy's book will allow any rational or semi-rational person to come to their own conclusions. That's about all I care to say about it, since I do not believe he is worthy of a lot of attention — attacking the ideas that lead to slavery are my main concern. (P.S.: You are highly misinformed on the nature of "libel".)
