The interview was very good. It lasted about 15 minutes (sorry, I
didn't tape it).

The interviewer at first said that RMS (and the L of Programming
Freedom) was against copyrights and patents). RMS did a good job of
explaining that the League was not against copyrights in general and just
wanted things back the way they were a few years ago.

Terry Gross is the usual interview on Fresh Air. She is generally very
good, but is much stronger on arts interviews than with tech
interviews. Terry did not do this interview; it was done by another
woman who did a better job than I think Terry would have done.

All the major points were covered: the look-and-feel analogies (car
controls and typewriter key layout), Free software (and the two
meanings of the word "free"), cross licensing by giant companies (like
IBM and Apple).
