In this, the fifth and penultimate edition of our weeklong series of video clips taken from our interview with Professor Eben Moglen at the Red Hat Summit in San Diego, the good professor explains how he came to meet and do legal work for Richard Stallman.
Professor Moglen grew up in an era where software was more free than it is today. In this clip he talks about his path eventually crossed that of Richard Stallman, and how they came to work together to make software free once more.
