I just noticed that Microsoft has used the acronym 'RMS' to stand for
'Rights Management Services'[1]. That has got to drive the real RMS
nuts. Well, actually, I can't speak for him, but it kinda drives me
nuts because it seems like they are using their marketing dollars in a
thinly veiled personal affront to their nemesis.
Still, if you google for 'rms', the first result is a link to rms'
homepage[2].
Maybe the fsf should launch a project that preserves individual rights
to access technology and call the project 'No Gates'. :-)
