Freedom of software is our birthright
,----[ Quote ]
| Tracing the history of free software, Abhijit
| said, "In 1984, Richard Stallman started the
| Free Software Foundation and spent most of his
| time advocating for free software, as well as
| campaigning against both software patents and
| what he sees as excessive extension of
| copyright laws."
|
| He added, "Therefore we have been advocating
| Linux, which is free to download, is more
| powerful and user-friendly than Windows. So,
| activists like us have to promote free
| software, which brings in ownership of the
| community, because I can share it with all,"
| he explained.
|
| "We believe that free software is the
| appropriate alternative for Indians and
| particularly students. Most of the well-known
| technical education institutes (IITs, IISc and
| NITs) use free software for their day-to-day
| use.

A Software Freedom Scorecard
,----[ Quote ]
| I spoke this morning at the South Tyrol
| Free Software Conference in Bolzano, Italy.
| My subject was the idea of a "software
| freedom scorecard", a list of indicators
| for the strength of software freedom in an
| open source project or product, about which
| I wrote recently. The slides are available
| for download.
