I never said that Richard StallmanĀ is a capitalist!

What i tried to explain in the interview is that, while the Free Software Foundation and Richard Stallman himself don’t have an anti-capitalist position for what they do, i do have. So please read my statement as “while Richard Stallmann doesn’t holds an anti-capitalist position, i do.” I felt like specifying that FSF and RMS are not sharing my anti- capitalist views since i had a previous email exchange with Richard in which he wrote me once that “I am not against capitalism as such, though I am against letting business have power as it has today.” In making my statement for the interview i didn’t wanted to assimilate the whole free software movement to my personal view and motivation, but by doing so i must have confused the journalist. And now i’m very sorry for it!
