Linux.com has a
transcript of Eben Moglen's talk in New York on October 28.
"I have some fine clients and wonderful friends in this movement who
have been getting rather angry recently. There is a lot of anger in the
world, in fact, in politics. Our political movement is not the only one
suffering from anger at the moment. But some of my angry friends, dear
friends, friends I really care for, have come to the conclusion that
they’re on a jihad for free software. And I will say this after decades of
work—whatever else will be the drawbacks in other areas of life—the problem
in our neighborhood is that jihad does not scale.

There is a video of the talk available as well.
