Day 2 keynotes at the Red Hat Summit (NewsForge)

[Posted June 1, 2006 by cook]

NewsForge covers Eben Moglen's Red Hat Summit keynote address. "He began by bringing up some of the bogeymen falsely associated with free software by those whose business interests are threatened by it: politics and profits. Much of the rest of his talk skewered, refuted, or demolished those mythical memes. He mentioned the decor in the reception area at Red Hat, which he noticed during a visit there in 1999, not long after the company had gone public. He noted a plaque on the wall which read, "Every revolution begins as an idea in one man's mind.""
