FSFE honoured with Theodor Heuss Medal - "trendsetting organisation"

,----[ Quote ]
| The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) 
| receives this year's Theodor Heuss Medal for 
| its extraordinary work for equitable 
| participation in the information society. 
| Since 2001 FSFE has been committed to the 
| freedom to use, investigate, modify and 
| redistribute software in all parts of society 
| and politics. Theodor Heuss Foundation states: 
| "FSFE as a forward thinking organisation 
| contributes to the development and 
| establishment of rules for good global 
| governance."
| 
| "Free Software is an indispensable component 
| of a free society in the digital age. It 
| ensures equal access to the information 
| society for everyone, " says Karsten Gerloff, 
| President of FSFE, commenting on the award.

On Copyright Assignment

,----[ Quote ]
| One or two points of fact, though: the FSF
| does not require assignment â not for all GNU
| projects, at least. For some, yes. I made
| this exact same mistake at the GNU hackerâs
| meeting in Gothenburg last month. After all,
| itâs easy to find articles stating that the
| FSF requires assignment â even on the FSF
| site â and not so easy to find ones that do
| not. After all, itâs hard to search for the
| absence of a document. Andy Wingo can
| probably point out some.
