Richard Stallman: Freedom | Radio NZ Interview
Richard Stallman was interviewed on Radio NZ by Kim Hill on Saturday morning. As stated on the Radio NZ website, Richard Stallman is a “software freedom activist visiting New Zealand to help promote the use, dissemination and ideals of Free Software”.
The interview contains a good primer on the concept of Free Software and motivations of the movement. Stallman emphasises that we must discuss copyright law, patent law and trademark law as separate issues. These are three separate areas of law, there is no such thing as “intellectual property” as a single issue.
