STALLMAN : Can someone lend me a watch? [Laughter] Thank you. So, I'd like to thank Microsoft for providing me the opportunity to [Laughter] be on this platform. For the past few weeks, I have felt like an author whose book was fortuitously banned somewhere. [Laughter] Except that all the articles about it are giving the wrong author's name, because Microsoft describes the GNU GPL as an open source license, and most of the press coverage followed suit. Most people, of course just innocently don't realize that our work has nothing to do with open source, that in fact we did most of it before people even coined the term open source.
