Richard Stallman and the Connotations of Language
,----[ Quote ]
| Anyone looking for a summary of the free software movement's concerns needs
| only to look at Richard M. Stallman's essay "Some Confusing or Loaded Words
| and Phrases that are Worth Avoiding." Behind the modest title, the essay
| lists all the classic free software concerns, ranging from insisting on the
| term "GNU/Linux" for the operating system usually called Linux to efforts to
| emphasize the dangers of so-called Digital Rights Management and Trusted
| Computing.

What Does "IP" Really Mean?
,----[ Quote ]
| For readers of Linux Journal, "IP" almost certainly refers to the Internet
| Protocol, part of the TCP/IP suite that underpins the Internet. But to most
| people, if it means anything, "IP" refers to something known as "intellectual
| property". This widespread recognition is rather curious,
| because "intellectual property" does not exist.
