This has to be the slowest argument in history. But it's starting to heat up!

Some things happened (or not, or maybe some did) in `the 70s`_ at MIT. Then in 2002, RMS gives `a speech`_ about them. Then near the end of 2007, comes `the rebuttal`_. 

I expect RMS to respond sometime around april 2008.
