So far, Mak is the only person I’ve found willing to speak on the record in regard to this practice, although I’ve heard this from a few other female sources. Mak, despite expressing initial revulsion at it, later managed to put aside her misgivings and dance with Stallman at a 1999 LinuxWorld show.

In a 1996 interview with online magazine MEME, Stallman cited Scribe’s sale as irksome, but hesitated to mention Reid by name. “The problem was nobody censured or punished this student for what he did”, Stallman said. “The result was other people got tempted to follow his example”. See MEME 2.04.
