Tournée de conférences sur le thème:
"éthique numérique"
RMS, c'est Richard M. Stallman, initiateur du mouvement des logiciels libres, de GNU/Linux et père de l'idée de Wikipédia.
Du 3 au 11 novembre 2010, il nous a offert un tour de conférences en Suisse romande qui ont remporté un grand succès.
Voici une interview réalisée par la TSR lors de son passage:
Voir ici l'article publié dans le livre "citoyens du net" sur RMS et l'émergence du Copyleft.
M. Stallman était par la suite à Paris au CRI le 12 novembre (plus d'informations), puis en Arménie et en Georgie du 14 au 24 novembre.

"Une Société Numérique Libre et Durable"
Activities directed at ``including'' more people in the use of digital
technology are predicated on the assumption that such inclusion is
invariably a good thing. It appears so, when judged solely by
immediate practical convenience. However, if we also judge in terms
of human rights, whether digital inclusion is good or bad depends on
what kind of digital world we are to be included in. If we wish to
work towards digital inclusion as a goal, it behooves us to make sure
it is the good kind.
"Free Software in Ethics and in Practice / Les Logiciels Libres et Votre Liberté"
Richard Stallman will speak about the goals and philosophy of the
Free Software Movement, and the status and history of the GNU
operating system, which in combination with the kernel Linux is
now used by tens of millions of users world-wide.
"Copyright vs Community"
Copyright developed in the age of the printing press, and was designed
to fit with the system of centralized copying imposed by the printing
press. But the copyright system does not fit well with computer
networks, and only draconian punishments can enforce it.
The global corporations that profit from copyright are lobbying
for draconian punishments, and to increase their copyright powers,
while suppressing public access to technology. But if we
seriously hope to serve the only legitimate purpose of
copyright--to promote progress, for the benefit of the
public--then we must make changes in the other direction.
