Richard Stallman Cancels Israel Lectures Due to Palestinian Pressure
The no-compromise Richard Stallman has compromised. He has cancelled lectures in Israel while on a Palestinian sponsored trip to the middle east. For anybody else, I'd say this makes perfect sense. But I've personally witnessed Stallman berate the organizers of a free software conference for letting the commercial sponsors of the conference actually, you know, speak at the conference they sponsored. In fact, he was so busy yelling at the conference organizers about letting the commercial vendors speak, that he was 20 minutes late to his own talk.
