Interview with RMS

Builder.AU has posted an interview with Richard Stallman. In the interview RMS covers what he is doing now, the difference between Open Source and the Free Software Movement, his fascination with Australian Parrots and more. From the interview:
If a person persuaded of open source ideas comes across a powerful, reliable, non-free program, she may think it admirable. “I'm surprised they were able to do this without open source,” she might say, “But I can't deny that it works well.” When a free software advocate looks at the same thing, she will see a nasty, unethical license. “I don't care how 'powerful' it is, if it takes away my freedom,” she will say. “Let's start writing the free replacement now!”
