Hello!

I'm from the Postgraduate Departmen of the ITCC University from Mexico,

Really we need to contact with Richard Stallman, just for give us his
opinion and answer us some questions about free software,
How can I contact him?
What's his real email?

This help affects up to 19 universities from Mexico,

Well, I hope you can help me,

Really thanks,

Best Regards,
Ing. Julian Acosta
Instituto Tecnologico de Cd. Cuauhtimoc
Departamento de Posgrado

I thought that RMS is GNU guy and this is BSD mailing list so maybe
you mistyped address? Anyway what's the status of reading and
searching ability on universities in Mexico as email of RMS is on his
own page http://stallman.org/ ? ;-)

Why ask this on a OpenBSD mailing list? OpenBSD has nothing to do with
Richard Stallman or GNU.
Check www.gnu.org.

To contact him:

1- put a woodstock live CD
2- get rid of all water points 
3- sacrifice a goat

At this point, the feet-naked hippy should come with his flute ;-)

NB: you're on the wrong mailing-list and it was too tempting.

You'd be better contacting the FSF rather than Stallman directly - don't you
think that's overkill?

He also may have conducted just one or two interviews and written a couple
of articles - just google.

Bear in mind that their favoured GPL 'free' software license is not free. It 
is
effectively free as in beer, but not as in free speech[1].  Their definition
includes being forced to give away source code, which whilst I understand
the viewpoint (of increasing free code), is by any measure a restriction of
your freedom.

BSD licenses, on the other hand, do not restrict what you can do, although 
it's
good karma to contribute back when using a large amount of free code from
others.

[1] The GPL allows products to be sold, but seeing as this must include
source code, after one sale it only needs someone with a compiler to 
distribute
it freely (as in beer).

That free beer analogy has never made any sense and never will.  I
honestly wonder why people keep repeating it.

I hope that in some /parallel/ universe beer is free and bsd is the most 
used license and *bsd is the most used and active operating system :)

Free beer is an important part of most village celebrations here in
Germany.  Schuetzenfest - lots of free beer, Feuerwehr - lots of free
beer, Fruehlingsfest - lots of free beer...

And the Bavarians might even have more reasons to give away free beer!
(I remember one meeting of the GUUG - German Unix User Group - when
they took all the attendees to the Augustiner Keller in Munich to get
unlimited "Mass" of beer).

So the question is - am I living in a parallel universe?

Agreed, in a level IV multiverse at least (before you ask, we need a
very good cosmologist to define `at least' here).  But don't worry,
BSDs are on a de Sitter universe even if some people (Linux kids)
think the other way.

This thread could be more humorous.

Yes.  One of my pet peeves.  Free from **wut ?  

But I do think the BSD model best supports the interests of Liberty,
and that's a bond that makes men less to be free of ;-)

Just talk a lot about open source and the Linux operating system. He'll
show up.

[ message continues ]

Now he'll definitely come here, because you wrote "Linux" instead" of
religiously correct "GNU/Linux".

[ message continues ]

No because you wrote GNU/Linux instead of GNU/Hurd :p

Do you mean Apache/BSD/GNU/IPL/MIT/SGI/X11/Linux, right?

[ message continues ]

Wasn't that SCO/Linux?

[ message continues ]

Actually it's the other way around - in my experience he's
significantly more reluctant to visit if the organizers show a
fondness for "open source" rather than "free software" and mentions
"Linux" without "GNU/" prepended too often.

But still the wrong mailing list.

Yes, one of his minions will stumble across this thread while they are
performing Google searches for him and deliver these most important
advocacy results to him with freshly hand peeled and pitted grapes.

[ message continues ]

I really laughed when I read this and the discussion that followed
You should probably read http://www.openbsd.org/mail.html
You should also  check your emails before you send them

It's clearly spam.

Yepiiiieeeeeee!

This is why misc@openbsd.org is my mentor!
