Free Software Advocate Richard Stallman Spoke at Microsoft Research This Week

'Free Software advocate Richard M. Stallman gave a talk at Microsoft
Campus yesterday. Stallman was invited by Microsoft Research.
Stallman's talk was related -- as most of his talks -- with Free
Software, Privacy and the GPLv3. He also had a list of small requests
to Microsoft: "make Github push users to better software license
hygiene, make hardware manufacturers to publish their hardware specs,
make it easier to workaround Secure Boot." While Microsoft has changed
its attitude toward Open Source Software in the last years, this does
not mean RMS has made peace with Microsoft: "If you're wondering
whether Stallman's distaste for Microsoft has lessened over the years,
his personal home page makes it clear that it has not".'
