In addition I've had the pleasure of discussing free software and its morals and 
ethics with Stallman in the past.  The positive i can take out of it was it was 
educational.

I consider myself to be somewhat of a advocate on the subject, and think that i have
zealot views from time to time on it, however i try to always remain somewhat practical
with it.  I find that it helps in the conversation.

The other lesson learnt is don't get him on the enemies of free software, there are some
people on that list you wouldn't have thought were there.  Open source being one of them.

In a lot of ways i agree with him, however its not easy to move forward when you fight
with friends and allies.
