    #Restrictedboot - It's not about the lock. It's about who has the keys. With a lock and no key, I'm shackled. !fs

    ♻ @mlinksva: legal hack trival part of FS, which would be a crucial movement with or without ©. Some copyleft goes beyond treating ©.

    @dhraakellian indeed, even now I sometimes (not often) wonder whether free prefix harmful. Nonfree is the harmful, abnormal, grotesque side.

    @dhraakellian yes, as in idealized != reality, only useful as smoke and mirrors obscuring and fetishizing power & control

    @dhraakellian fair point about USSR as state capitalism; almost mentioned but [now, didn't] save a dent :-)

    @bramalab although, under such a system, why "free software" or "free culture"? Why not just "software" and "culture" in a freed society?

    @bramalab I misspoke. !FS and !freeculture would survive and thrive, but © (and thus !cc, GPL, et al.) wouldn't be needed to protect them

    @dhraakellian good quote, but not entirely true. © existed in the USSR. © comes from censorship/power/etc preceding modern ideology. ...

    @dhraak That quote from a friend, plus Stallman's "Misinterpreting Copyright" (http://is.gd/2czKJe ) are what most formed my current © views

#Freesoftware

Primary audience

all, free software advocates, Linux users

Definition

Free software or software libre is software that guarantees the freedom to be used, studied, and modified without restriction, and the freedom to be copied and redistributed in modified or unmodified form either without restriction, or with minimal restrictions only to ensure that further recipients can also do these things and that manufacturers of consumer-facing hardware allow user modifications to their hardware. Free software in most cases is also available gratis (free of charge). However the focus of the term "free" is on freedom. R. Stallman summarised the difference in a slogan: "Think free as in free speech, not free beer."
