"Free as in Freedom: Richard Stallman's Crusade for Free Software"


"Mmm, rhinophytophilia,"At the time, I thought Stallman was referring to the

comes to food. One of the fringe benefits of being a
traveling missionary for the free software cause is the
ability to sample delicious food from around the world.
"Visit almost any major city in the world, and chances
are Richard knows the best restaurant in town," says
Ney. "Richard also takes great pride in knowing what's
on the menu and ordering for the entire table.
