Mr. Stallman was invited to speak at the Free University in Belgium by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on the topic of software patents.

He starts by explaining why the term "Intellectual Property" is bogus and its precepts constituting a pseudo-concept. For the simple reason that hardare patents, software patents, copyrights, and trademarks are all far too different to be lumped into one concept. He claims that there isn't one true statement that anyone can make that applies to all of them.

It's all downhill from there. Fascinating talk.

On a side note. Did you know that GNU system software runs on 100s of millions of machines worldwide? Everything from the smallest embedded devices to smart phones to personal computers to the servers that form the backbone of the Internet to supercomputers.
