Bill Gates and Larry Ellison are just a couple of the men who've made billions out of the software business. But if Richard Stallman has his way - that would be a thing of the past - and software would ALL be free.

­He's going to be the guest on RT's Spotlight on December 1st.

If you want to put a question to Richard about how to make software and the internet free, and how to get around the thorny problem of copyright .. why not post a comment here.

well, i cannot think of many questions, because i regularly use software from your FSF! i stopped using microsoft products about 5 or 6 years ago just because it was more secure, and i got tired of viruses. i use only linux and unix kernel systems anymore, and by using free software and linux i have learned more about my computer and programming than i ever would have using windows or any proprietary OS.

microsoft can pay 100 programmers to come up with an OS, but linux doesnt pay anyone and being a community project, they have litterally MILLIONS of programmers working on this open source project. linux and ubuntu are prime examples of the good that open source programming can do for the world!

i suppose my question is; with all of the 'anti piracy' and anti-freedom laws being shoved through the house and senate (albeit with total disregard to the interest of people and their security) what new developments has the free software foundation come up with to help people like me be more secure? anything that helps common people like new types of security programs or encryptions that deter threats like our government? im sure there is a demand for it, especially with CISPA leering overhead.

I use ubuntu and it walks all over microsoft junk. A long time believer in Richard. I have no question, just the utmost admiration for the bloke. Soldier-on, Richard, more power to your arm.
