Richard Stallman – Software Freedom Activist

The computer world is divided in two confronting camps with two totally different philosophies. On the one side are companies that sell programs to make money. On the other are people who believe software must be totally free. Generally paid software dominates, so why don't more people go for the free alternative. And what does that mean for intellectual property? We’re asking one of the leaders of the free software movement, programmer-turned-philosopher Richard Stallman.

The topic is interesting but the host is unbearably annoying.

The host is not a an idiot, but he is very different from the typical smooth western media type. He is completely unprepared so he cannot ask good questions. Had he done a little research on RMS and free software beforehand, this might have been interesting. He could have showed just a bit more general respect for Stallman as well.
