The Free Software Foundation after “Defective by Design“, the brilliant campaign launched to protect our digital freedoms, did a great move managing to bring Fry on the free software board. He generously donated his time to the cause of free software.

Well done, and happy hacking!

    On the contrary Roy, I am a great fun of Richard. Still I think he should spend his energies talking about what he knows better.

    The business side of free software, or open standards are probably not among his strongest points, though.
