Two new books by Richard Stallman
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has just released in tandem the second edition of its president and founder Richard Stallman's selected essays, Free Software, Free Society, and his semi-autobiography, Free as in Freedom: Richard Stallman and the Free Software Revolution.
The new edition of Free Software, Free Society features a number of improvements: it has both new essays and updated versions of classic pieces on the GNU Project and free software. Part of the book is devoted to the issue of language framing and its significance in the survival of free software; another discusses the traps that erode computer-user freedoms, and a third urges software users to choose civic values and community over convenience. This edition also adds an index, and a new introduction by FSF licensing compliance engineer Brett Smith.

Ironically, mr hippie software must be free is NOT giving his books away - instead - gasp - he's charging money. Yes MONEY! Evil evil evil money.
Nothing like a nice bit of hypocrisy to prove your message is nothing but a big fat scam.
No free beer
The FSF has never been against making money. Free Software is not freeware.
