Sometimes high profile presenters and event coordinators put rather odd things in riders as a quality control check to make sure the sponsor is being thorough.  I&#x27;m not sure if this is Stallman&#x27;s intent but it sure sounds like it.<p>There is a famous rider meme concerning Van Halen.  When they toured they required M&amp;M&#x27;s in their dressing room with the brown ones taken out.  They didn&#x27;t particularly care about M&amp;M&#x27;s.  They just wanted to make sure the organizer was reading the rider.
