Monumental moment in both free software and Microsoft’s history. A decade ago he was probably the most persona non grata.

Look at how far we’ve come.

To all the people who were bashing them in the comments a few days ago about the OIN patent grant, you guys still bitter? Cause it looks like RMS isn’t.

An English language article: https://www.zdnet.com/article/free-software-advocate-richard...

Also Pedro Paulo explained what the content of the talk was:

> Mostly standard talk. Importance of free software, GPL v3, GNU vs Linux. However, he had a list of "small requests": make Github push users to better software license hygiene, make hardware manufacturers to publish their hardware specs, make it easier to workaround Secure Boot.
