The three theme of the lecture where community – collaboration – choice
It was all about creative commons and free software. It discussed how all we, as consumers want to do is to share! But anything that we create is automatically copyrighted. But if you use a CC then you can modify the copyright agreement.
We then went on the discuss FLOSS (Free/libre Open Source Software). Where a source code is like the recipe for making your favourite food. Richard Stallman created ‘Free Software’ which described the four freedoms:
Freedom 0 – the freedom to run a program for any purpose
Freedom 1 – the freedom to study how the program works and adapt it to your needs
Freedom 2- the freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbour
Freedom 3 – the freedom to improve the program and release your improvement to the public, so that the whole community benefits
Which just about sums up the excitement that was lecture 7.
