"Sports stars, musicians, and other celebrities have been charging for
autographs for years, but who would have thought Richard Stallman would be
doing the same? Is this just for fun, or a clever, highly effective protest?
Hackers, geeks and nerds gathered together at the 7th FISL - Internacional
Free Software Forum, in Porto Alegre (Brazil) last week, were astounded when
they got word that Richard Stallman, the founding father of the Free
Software Foundation and creator of the GPL, was charging R$ 10 (about US$ 3)
for an autograph and R$ 5 (less than US$ 2) to get his picture taken by free
  software enthusiasts at the event floor."
