Not so much FUD as an advertisement. Worth a read, though.
I hadn’t realised before that Richard has an assistant. One can only pray, for the sake of Jeanne Rasta’s sexual and mental health (for it is she) that she flosses rigorously between the toes and bears no particular resemblance to a parrot.
It’s actually interesting to dig into this prospectus:
“Each topic takes substantially longer in other languages [than English] ...”
“... I don’t write my speeches in advance—that would take too much time.”
I can picture him now, staggering around the stage on two fungoidal feet, mumbling “Now, where did I put my Swahili dictionary? I knew that wretched parrot-faced woman should have made notes for me. How the hell do I make sure that I don’t say “Open Source” in Swahili rather than “Free Software?”
It’s interesting to note that most winners of Nobel prizes will consent to sharing a platform, given no prior discussion, with almost anybody. You’d probably have to stump up a sizeable fee, but they’re pretty secure in their research and their analysis and their ability to get their views over to an audience in the face of possible competition.
Not Richard, though. Stallman is … Special.
