Eben Moglen is definitely one of our contemporary Arhats, a blessed soul.

I am certain that centuries from now, Stallman's joke about dressing up like a saint will turn out not to be a joke at all. I hope we can recognize our good leaders in the End Game.

Congratulations for this post, it's probably the best I heard - Eben Moglen is brilliant

I wonder if Bill Gates knows him

[Bob Jones]

i bet Bill's well aware of him, he just got named checked in the London based 'Observer' - James Naughton's 'The Networker' column. He ploughs a lonely trough in a way, funny with it.

The Chomsky of Intellectual freedom through software!

[alekopetkov]

Strange, but he reminds me of Dr. Breen of Half Life.

Bravo, great speech!!

[Chris Brewer]

A good speech with a lot of well thought out ideas, though I am not entirely sympathetic with everything he has to say. I think that this is good work overall, despite whatever criticisms I may have of it.
