"Just for fun, or a clever, highly effective protest? Hackers, geeks and
nerds gathered together at the 7th FISL - Internacional Free Software
Forum, in Porto Alegre (Brazil) last week, were astounded when they got
word that Richard Stallman, the founding father of the Free Software
Foundation and creator of the GPL, was charging R$ 10 (about US$ 3) for
an autograph and R$ 5 (less than US$ 2) to get his picture taken by free
software enthusiasts at the event floor."
