Richard Stallman's rider has been a cause of amusement, bemusement and
confusion for many conference and lecture organisers who have hosted him.
It has even drawn the attention of the press[0].
But what is the story behind this complex beast? When were certain clauses
added, and why? We hope that with enough data regarding when modifications
were made, we may be able to shed some light on the why's.
If you have a copy of RMS's rider we would love to include it in this archive.
You can mail me a copy personally if you do not want your identity attached to
this project. I can be e-mailed at: David.Dolphin at skynet.ie
