STALLMAN: Absolutely. Well, you know, I don't know the answers. But part of what I believe is crucial for developing free, functional information is idealism. People have to recognize that it's important for this information to be free, that when the information is free, you can make full use of it. When it's restricted, you can't. You have to recognize that the nonfree information is an attempt to divide them and keep them helpless and keep them down. Then they can get the idea, &ldquo;Let's work together to produce the information we want to use, so that it's not under the control of some powerful person who can dictate to us what we can do.&rdquo;
