[Article] Stallman strikes back at Microsoft

Stallman strikes back at Microsoft

Opening paragraphs...

"
NEW YORK--To Microsoft Corp., software is about making money. To Richard 
Stallman, head of the Free Software Foundation, it's about freedom, 
equality and liberty.

Stallman took his philosophical message to an audience of students, 
professors and press at New York University's Stern School of Business here 
Tuesday morning. He held forth for more than 2 hours, in a talk that was 
billed as the FSF's response to Microsoft executive Craig Mundie's May 3

open-source software.

The article goes on to include:

- How M$ is "playing dirty" by tying services to programs
- An attack on Caldera, calling them a "parasite"!
