"Move over, Richard, we'll take it from here" - that's the sort of message embraced by parts of the Mono community

"...it was a great honor for Colosa, the company which develops ProcessMaker, to be an official sponsor of Richard Stallman’s visit to Bolivia. Despite his busy schedule and his many commitments, RMS makes a point to visit even tiny countries like Bolivia to promote his message of freedom..."

"...On 26 june a prophet came to CERN. Complete with long hair and a bushy unkempt, Richard Stallman looked every bit the part. His message was software should be free. [...] The year that Stallman came to CERN, Tim had published a note in a CERN computing newsletter drawing the laboratarie's attention to GNU. [...] «When we speak of free software ... we are refrerring to freedom, not price».

"...In his anniversary message to the gnewsense-users mailing list, project co-founder Paul O’Malley had a look at both the past and the future of the distribution. As for the future, the message broke news that the original project leaders Brian Brazil and Paul think they have taken the project as far as they think they can, and plan to hand over maintenance to other community members..."

Below is a message I just got from ieee.org This is a message inviting me back to join IEEE offering non-free software from M$ for gratis.This has been shown as an attractive offer in the mail, But i feel it a confirmation message not to join IEEE ever after.

"February 6, 2009 - Edmonton-Richard Stallman wants you to watch your words. And your personal information. And your freedom. In short, Stallman wants you to make a statement to government and corporations that you will not accept unfair and unethical copyright laws.

"In February of last year, Richard M. Stallman, founder and president of the Free Software Foundation, spoke at the International Conference on Communication and Technologies in Havana about what he strongly believes are the merits of non-proprietary software. I recently learned directly from Stallman what that experience was like.

I have interviewed Richard Stallman and other members of the Free Software Foundation often enough that he remembers my name (no small feat, I’m sure, considering the hundreds he meets each year). Once or twice, I think, in talking about parrots and folk music, I may have caught a personal glimpse of him. But, even if I haven’t, I generally support the Free Software Foundation.
