Open source communities: Who's in charge?

| Debian is a free operating system - a set of basic programs and utilities
| that make computers run - that uses the Linux kernel developed by Linus
| Torvalds. The kernel is the most fundamental program on the computer that
| manages demands on system resources: It allows you to run multiple programs
| simultaneously. According to industry analysts, Debian has 25 percent of the
| market for Linux distribution, second only to Red Hat distribution.

Who do You Trust with Your Computing?

| Helios was speaking out against trusted computing (TC) and Digital
| Rights Management (DRM) that is humming softly at the hardware and
| software level inside YOUR computer right now. That's right! Chances
| are, it's already made it on a chip on your and my motherboards...but
| it's there. Soon, if what can happen does happen...we'll all be so
| very unhappy at being told how we can and can't operate our PCs.
|
| Some of you may be asking, "what the heck are you talking about?
| They can't tell me how I can use my computer inside my own home".
| Unfortunately, that statement is false. DRM chips are already on a
| majority of motherboards and even built into some processors (viiv
| anyone?). All it takes is a flip of the switch and you'll do what
| Microsoft or any other company that wants to manage your rights
| for you tells you to do whether you like it or not. That is, ofc
| ourse, unless you use Linux :) Linux has always been about
| choice...we choose to compute in ways WE want to...not ways
| that are defined for us.
