| 2010 is a three day event with workshops
| on using free software for everything from
| Web development to video editing and

SCALE 8x: Free software legal issues
,----[ Quote ]
| The casual view of open source software is
| that the code always comes first: releases
| are made when the code is ready, new
| contributors prove their chops by the
| quality of their code, and so forth. But
| in reality the FLOSS ecosystem relies on a
| complex legal framework in order to run
| smoothly and to stand up to proprietary
| software competition: the various software
| licenses, contribution agreements,
| copyright and other "intellectual
| property" law. Every once in a while, a
| good status check on the legal dimension
| is healthy for the typical developer, and
| SCALE 8x offered just that in a series of
| talks.

The smallest unit of freedom: a Fellow
,----[ Quote ]
| Through the GNU Project and in particular the writings of Richard, I became
| aware of the larger picture. That is probably also the reason why I believe
| that his greatest achievement in life was to give this culture of software
| self-awareness.
|
| This self-awareness, including the Free Software Definition and the principle
| of Copyleft, was fundamental for everything that came afterwards, which
| provides the most important reason for myself to speak of âGNU/Linux.â
