It's one sentence at around 10:42. Can anyone find an article on what he talked about?

21:45 and especially 22:10 onward ... it's sad almost in a storybook kind of way.

Interesting speech, thanks for the link. It sounds like he is talking about things that are happening now!

There is a citation to Stallman's story on page 5 of this pdf.

Here is the link http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9909/03/windows.nsa/

This article from 1999 and is often cited in many similar-type stories.

Also, here's the email correspondence between Duncan Campbell and
Microsoft from the year 2000 about the "NSA key":
