Richard Stallman was brought to UIUC on his birthday (coinciding with the Manifesto).
The talk was titled "Free Software and Your Freedom", which covers the GNU manifesto (more or less). There's also an interesting explanation of how Stallman he feels about open source, and linux (GNU/Linux).

If you haven't heard him speak I recommend it... if not just for the awkward moments when he chomps on his doughnuts during the talk.

His writing usually sounds insane to most people at the time, and proves prophetic 1-2 decades later. The guy suffers from extreme Cassandra's Complex.
