Not true! Barlow wasn't involved in computer technology at all until he 
got on the Well and then went to the Hackers' Conference in 1985. By then,
Stallman was already ranting about GNU. Barlow picked up Stallman's views
about copyright at that time. (It's also where he met Mitch Kapor.) I
know; I was an organizer of the conference.
