The first and only time I met Richard Stallman was at a small private talk in Palo Alto at MacAurthur Park. About 20 people at most I would say. His rigor and attentiveness to detail stood out brightly, even amongst a room full of PhDs and others. I was startled by the talk at the time and I have to say that those ideas have never left me since then. The content of his careful polemic have only grown in weight and relevancy today, whatever your own views are.
It is an honor and achievement of a society that Richard Stallman may speak and say what he chooses to say, in 2025.
