Free Software Legend Speaks on Tuesday

Richard Stallman will be talking on "Copyright vs. Community" this Tuesday.

Venue: Castle One lecture theatre, near the main library, Otago University.

Time: 6:30pm.

Richard is a Free Software leader, started the GNU project whose software is used in Linux, and whose license, the GPL is used by Linux and a large amount of free software. He is second only to Linus Torvalds in fame, but arguably greater in contribution.

The talk is free, but a collection will be taken to cover costs and there will most likely be a raffle of an RMS related art work as well.
