Free as in Freedom, Not Free as in Freeloader
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux and Free Software make some demands on users. We are expected to build
| some skills and acquire some knowledge, and participate in the community
| because taking without giving is not ethical. A growing user community should
| mean a growing pool of contributors, rather than a growing number of demands
| and complaints.

|
| What do you get in return? More control of your own computing infrastructure,
| knowledge, being part of something that matters, and for me the best part is
| that "I built something worthwhile today" feeling.

Letter to the Editor: Free Software Means 'Freedom'
,----[ Quote ]
| As the founder of the free software movement and author of the GNU General
| Public License, I am writing to correct a misleading characterisation of free
| software presented in William Venema's article about open source. National
| Law Journal, Oct. 20.
|
| I do not wish to defend open source, which I have never supported. I disagree
| with its choice of basic values, which exclude freedom and social solidarity,
| the values with which the free software movement is most concerned. (When the
| open source camp split off from the free software movement in 1998, its
| purpose was none other than to downplay this ethical level.) Rather, I wish
| to set the record straight about free software.
