RMS and Hong Feng also discussed a how to set up FSF-CHINA and a lot of other topics.
Here are links to some photos of his visit.
I could tell you RMS will visit China again in the future, though the exact visiting date has not been fixed yet, and we would put more photos of him by then.
If you like these photos, please contact with Hong Feng, the author of "RMS Biography".
The "free" in "Free Software" refers the "freedom" (- a part of human rights, free as in free speech), it is NOT related with price which is often misunderstood as "free" in "free of charge" (free beer). Also, the term "Free Software" came from GNU Project started in 1984, when the term "open sources software" was not invented yet. Please read the nice article by RMS (Dr. Richard M. Stallman) covering the difference between Free Software and open sources software.
