"Free software has always been an important part of the software
world, just like commercial software has been. .... So you have this
incredibly wonderful thing that if free software works for people,
they should use that. ....... That's his (Stallman's) world. The GPL
is. The free software world is way, way bigger than that, and that
will always be there. That's a noncontroversial thing that we love."

Those are the words of the king of Micro$oft in an interview with
Cnet. He also has a good word about Stallman:

"Now (Free Software Foundation head Richard) Stallman, he is truly
pure; unlike many people who sort of try to act that way, he's pure."
