OSCON, or Moglen gets nasty and personal

[gdt]

Lawyers aren't usually fluffy and cuddly people, which has always made the well mannered Eben Moglen stand out a bit. No longer. He ripped Tim O'Reilly a new one at O'Reilly's own OSCON, whilst O'Reilly was also on the stage.

The FSF have always been somewhat upset by O'Reilly and his publications. They much rather have the Python reference manual be free rather than $90. And his Web 2.0 model very much exploits authors, with the financial benefits going only to the publishers.
