Google English translation:
It appears, first via twitter and then confirmed by the media. Richard Stallman has been detained by security services at Miami International Airport.
Stallman had happened these days in Chile participating in various conferences on the occasion to disseminate the ideas and philosophy of the free software movement, came on Aerolineas Argentinas flight after stopover in Buenos Aires, Miami International Airport at 6:30 minutes morning.
According to sources, around 7:30 minutes, Stallman was in the airport transit area waiting for their next stop when another person appears on stage. Identified this as Miguel de Icaza, founder of the Gnome project, Mono, among others.
Both after an effusive greeting began to discuss the situation getting to the point that they begin fighting producing minor damage the furniture in the airport.
The rapid intervention of security forces at the airport managed to separate them later to guard them both to the restraint room.

I would wait for some follow up news reports that are not based on the original twitter. The Miami Herald makes no mention of the incident that I could find.

Yup, you're right. Today is the equivalent of April Fool's in Spain and other countries.

In Spain and Hispanic America, December 28th is a day for pranks, equivalent to April Fool's Day in many countries. Pranks are known as inocentadas and their victims are called inocentes , or alternatively, the pranksters are the "inocentes" and the victims should not be angry at them, since they could not have committed any sin .

Stallman is a lover, not a fighter. Besides, I think he could take De Icaza pretty easy,

So do I, and you're absolutely correct. I thought I saw some fangs at some point along wth a little aversion to direct light.
