What is libre culture?
Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.
Some beliefs include but aren't limited to:
- That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
- That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
- That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
- That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
- That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules
I've looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I've distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.
-
Please show common courtesy: Let's make this community one that people want to be a part of.
-
Please keep posts generally on topic
-
No NSFW content
-
When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”
Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it's perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.

You are twisting the story to fit your own purpose. The girl/woman in question was not 20 and at least Richard Stallman knew this when he wrote his defense based on a technicality.
I didn't characterise any story. I asked a simple question, to return to the matter in question, rather than side tracking. This is more side tracking.
Do you, or do you not believe that saying someone who slept with a twenty year old has committed “sexual assault” could be misleading?
But this is not the question at all and you are completely side-tracking, so why should I answer a question that has absolutely no relation to the issue at hand?
Neither does a 20 year old feature in this story, nor is anyone even mention "sexual assault". And last but not least, it isn't at all a question of what legally might or might not be a certain offense.
You are so far off the point that I am starting to think you are not arguing in good faith :(
This is the question I asked, twice. It's also the original question asked by Stallman.
I'm not sure how you want to show evidence that the question I'm asking is not "the question". It's a question, it's one I've asked, and one you're apparently incapable of answering.
If this isn't the point you're making, then don't be surprised when other people's questions - including Stallman's - are not there to facilitate your points.
The story pertains to Stallman precisely because of his initial demand for clarity.
