Send us your questions for new W3C CEO Jeff Jaffe
,----[ Quote ]
| I had the opportunity earlier this week to
| sit down with Jeff and discuss with him his
| appointment and learn a little more about the
| work of W3C and his plans for the coming
| year. Jeff talked about the importance of
| W3C's Royalty-Free Patent Policy and we
| discussed how the free software community
| could participate in and follow the work of
| W3C. He stated that he wanted to "make sure
| that free software advocates view W3C --
| which has spearheaded the removal of patent
| royalties from standards -- as a great place
| to participate."

Interview: Eben Moglen - Freedom vs. The Cloud Log
,----[ Quote ]
| Free software has won: practically all of the
| biggest and most exciting Web companies like
| Google, Facebook and Twitter run on it. But
| it is also in danger of losing, because those
| same services now represent a huge threat to
| our freedom as a result of the vast stores of
| information they hold about us, and the in-
| depth surveillance that implies.
|
| Better than almost anyone, Eben Moglen knows
| what's at stake. He was General Counsel of
| the Free Software Foundation for 13 years,
| and helped draft several versions of the GNU
| GPL. As well as being Professor of Law at
| Columbia Law School, he is the Founding
| Director of the Software Freedom Law Center.
| And he has an ambitious plan to save us from
| those seductive but freedom-threatening Web
| service companies. He explained to Glyn
| Moody what the problem is, and how we can fix
| it.

| Free software is software that comes with
| permission for anyone to use, copy, and
| distribute, either verbatim or with
| modifications, either gratis or for a fee. In
| particular, this means that source code must
| be available. âIf it's not source, it's not
| software.â
