GNU, GPL, Open Source On June 29, 2007 the Free Software Foundation released the GNU General Public License, version 3. What happened since then? Federico Biancuzzi had the opportunity to discuss many subjects with the FSF's founder and president Richard Stallman.

I had once the pleasure to see Stallman live, when I was doing a training at CERN.

We have to respect the guy for keeping himself so true to his principles. But I fear that on a world so full of online multimedia stuff, many of his battles are already lost.

Content creators want to use the best tools for their job, and the public just cares to watch it no matter how.

Only when DRM or patents starts getting on their way, the "joe user" cares about it. But in the sense that there is some thing that he doesn't like, without really knowing what.
