Forty years ago, it started with the four freedoms; today, the GNU Project, GPL and other GNU licenses, and copyleft is still going strong; on September 27 and October 1, we're celebrating those hard-won freedoms in Biel (Switzerland) and Boston, MA (USA).

@fsf _three_ freedoms back then! The fourth came much later in the middle of the 1990s!

Are you still stuck using proprietary software to talk to your coworkers and loved ones? Jitsi Meet respects your freedom and privacy, and FSF associate members can spread that freedom by using the new FSF instance: u.fsf.org/33h Join today: u.fsf.org/63

@fsf It looked like to me that I couldn't record Jitsi meets without doing something like livestreaming to YT. Has that changed?

Whether by developing free software for a wheelchair or by sharing the free software message on a microblog, we are all working together for free software. Let's take a moment to appreciate all the efforts made for the cause. #WorkingTogether

From the preamble of the GNU GPL: "To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities [...]" u.fsf.org/3kz

@fsf

IMHO, it's worth the time to read the GNU GPL.

I read an great book, 'The Hacker Ethic', ~8 years ago, which explored the history, evolution, and responsibilities of free software hacking and the GNU/Linux ecosystem. Its content was on a site I thought was HackerEthic.org. (The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine crawls of that domain, however, are incongruous with the book.)

I wonder if Pekka Himanen's 2002 'The Hacker Ethic' book has any relation to the book I read.
