Ninjas attack Richard Stallman, reenacting xkcd comic

Cory Doctorow 1:09 am Sun Oct 21, 2007

Yale students dressed as ninjas staged a mock attack on Free Software Foundation founder Richard Stallman last week, reenacting a great installment from xkcd, a fantastic webcomic. Stallman came to Yale to give a talk on DRM at the debating society, and confronted the ninjas "with good humor and grace."
