He is especially severe on Richard Stallman, the founder of GNU.
"Richard Stallman is a capitalist. He is a very good friend of mine
but doesn't take a clear position," he argues.
Or not...

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!
