1. "Think free as in free speech, not free beer." -- Richard Stallman
1) Richard Stallman (GNU Project Founder) [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard\_Stallman]
- Programmer
- Social Activist and icon:
- [xkcd.com/225/]
- [boingboing.net/ ... s-attack-richar.html]
- [xkcd.com/344/]
2) =Copyleft concept= ([en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft])
- right to distribute copies and modified versions of a work
- requirement that the same rights be preserved in modified versions of the work
3) The notion of =Free Software= [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis\_versus\_libre]
- copyleft is a general method for
- making a program (or other work) free (libre), and
- requiring all modified and extended versions of the program to be free as well.
- This free does not necessarily mean
- free of cost (gratis), but
- free as in freely available to be modified.
2. Copyrights and Licences (including non copyleft licenses)
1) Origins of Copyrights:
- an artificial monopoly to encourage editors to invest in good quality products
2) Different types of Copyrights
- Published books (even if the text is "free")
- Medias (Images, Videos, Music, Texts)
- Patents
- Software
- Algorithms
- Genes
- ...
3) Licences for your Project (including non Copyleft licenses)
1. GNU Public Licence (GPL Advantages: [www.freebsd.org/ ... dl-gpl/article.html])

2. BSD License (BSD Advantages: [www.freebsd.org/ ... le.html#origins-gpl])
- this one is NOT copyleft
- it permits authors to
- get feedback and improvement from the community on their product, yet
- start a company with their code later.
3. Creative Commons ([creativecommons.org/])
- allows to define license in a modular and iconic way
- contain copyleft and non copyleft licenses
- extends the concept to all documents (not only programs)
