At the end of the event, Stallman auctioned off an autographed hardcover copy of Free Software, Free Society: Selected Essays of Richard M. Stallman, an Emacs manual -- and a gnu-shaped stuffed animal, which went for $260).

"Well, sad to say, I probably won't see what happens in the next 10 years. I'm getting old. I may still be alive in 10 years. But I wouldn't count on that. It's not going to be up to me for that long."
He also said, more generally, that "we don't have enough control over the situation to be able to plan for specific goals.
"We can plan for what direction to push in."
