NewsForge | Day 2 keynotes at the Red Hat Summit

"Professor Moglen is a lawyer, and he looks and talks like a lawyer. He wore a beige suit, light blue shirt, and a light beige tie. He is not overly tall, slightly rotund, and sports a full but neatly trimmed beard. He is soft spoken, and speaks easily and gracefully, as you might expect a professor at Columbia to do. His message was not soft, however, but urgent. He reminded the crowd about the why of free software, about why it is needed, about the freedom it gives us, and how we can keep it."
