This "proves?" This "proves" nothing. The only thing this comes close to proving is that Ziff-Davis can once again deliver an ASCII bytestream devoid of any real content save a single quote and the reporter's speculation. It could have been better phrased like, "I went to a conference, Stallman said the same thing he's said for years, and people talked about it."
Could you point me to the clause in the GNU General Public License that revokes a developer's priveledge to license software under the terms of the GPL if said developer expressly disagrees with something a Mr. Richard Stallman had verbally expressed at any location on any date either prior to or after the conception of the term of the license? I must have missed the section where one is legally obligated to think his same thoughts.
