I shall relate them separately: 1. Richard often refuses to talk if you bill your conference, your article, or his talk as an "Open Source" one, you have to say "Free Software". He does this because he wants you to think about Freedom. For this reason, many conferences have been altered their name to suit Richard. 2. If you are interviewing Richard and your computer runs Windows, he will offer to "defenestrate" it, but he will still do the interview even if you do not accept this offer. If you haven't picked it up, I have tremendous admiration for Richard. And I like him a lot, even though there are people who make it a lot easier to be their friend. But we are not agreed on some things. Bruce I think the inaccuracy resulted from the combination of two statements. I shall relate them separately: 1.

If you haven’t picked it up, I have tremendous admiration for Richard. And I like him a lot, even though there are people who make it a lot easier to be their friend. But we are not agreed on some things.
