Jury-Law books

"This
particular presentation, this seminar falls right into
that mold. I find the discussion of open source
particularly interesting."
Before Uretsky can get another sentence out, Stallman
is on his feet waving him down like a stranded motorist.
"I do free software," Stallman says to rising laughter.
"Open source is a different movement."
The laughter gives way to applause. The room is stocked
with Stallman partisans, people who know of his
reputation for verbal exactitude, not to mention his
much publicized 1998 falling out with the open source
software proponents. Most have come to anticipate such
outbursts the same way radio fans once waited for Jack
Benny's trademark, "Now cut that out!" phrase during
each radio program.
Uretsky hastily finishes his introduction and cedes the
stage to Edmond Schonberg, a professor in the NYU
computer-science department. As a computer programmer
and GNU Project contributor, Schonberg knows which
linguistic land mines to avoid. He deftly summarizes
Stallman's career from the perspective of a modern-day
programmer.
