  I highly doubt Windows Rights Management Services has any connection at
all to Richard Matthew Stallman.  You're talking about a company that once
launched a major marketing campaign based on the term "Digital Nervous
System", only to have the whole thing sputter and die when someone pointed
out that "DNS" was already taken...
