This is a great clip that Dave Yates posted on his forum at LottaLinuxLinks.com.

The business model of threatening to sue people works if they are twelve year olds. It does not work real well if they are the pillars of finance capitalism.

have you guys ever tried to get Eben on the show?

I think that would be interesting - although I doubt he may have the time but you could at lesast ask and all he could say is no.

He was great on Leo's FLOSS (Not-even-close-to)Weekly. I would go and listen to that if you havent yet. Its a good listen to get primed for what is going on these days with the GPL 3 debate. He was the one man that was able to clearly explain why I should adopt the GPL3 in my heart. Well, it worked. RMS sure as hell didnt, nor did any of the other "Politicians" of the FLOSS scene.

I second the motion BTW :D

Could you give a link to that? I don't see Moglen mentioned on the latest FLOSS.

Edit: Never mind. I see that it's episode 13 from last year.

My sentiments have been summed up quite nicely by schotty.
