Episode Synopsis

Free/Libre software is software that respects the user's freedom. Software that meets the "four essential freedoms" is considered Free/Libre. The Free Software Movement was started by Richard Stallman to to pursue the liberation of cyberspace, to create a free digital world for computers users.Richard Stallman started the GNU project to develop an operating system for this, and pioneered the concept of copyleft with their GNU GPL license. Copyleft is a specific kind of a Free/Libre license among many, that guarantees that the user's freedom is preserved when the software exchanges hands. The four freedoms of Free Software are: (0) to run the program, (1) to study and change the program in source code form, (2) to redistribute exact copies, and (3) to distribute modified versions.Visit GNU.org for more https://www.gnu.orggo to my eepsitehttp://awuuwa.i2p/?i2paddresshelper=7mwx2ek36sbvac25cgvw6yjm2lsffr7cloibkcmmkeaq2upibnmq.b32.i2phow to install and use I2Phttps://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/how-to-make-your-own-website-using-I2P:0https://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/i2pd-flatpak-tutorial:8Some of my other good speeches:https://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/Libraries-should-be-allowed-to-duplicate-works-+-unrestrict-them-in-more-ways:9https://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/technicalities-and-ethics-copyleft-vs-permissive:chttps://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/briefly-the-difference-between-FreeLibre-vs-Open-Source:dhttps://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/schools-are-the-most-important-target-for-free-software-advocates:fhttps://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/free-software-movement-versus-open-source-movement:bhttps://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/The-Open-Source-Movement-is-incompatible-with-The-Free-Software-Movement:dhttps://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/open-source-is-an-enemy-of-software-freedom:chttps://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/permissive-licenses-are-evil:1https://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/Why-Software-Freedom-is-Important:3https://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/the-terms-of-proprietary-are-evil:9https://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/If-you-are-new-to-GNU+Linux-try-PureOS:ahttps://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/retroshare-with-i2p-full-setup-guide:chttps://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/Why-Free-Software-is-better-than-proprietary-software,-Windows-10-and-Mandriva:fhttps://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/Make-Debian-FSF-approved!:ahttps://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/friend-to-friend-network-explained:7https://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/what-can-i-do-to-contribute-to-freedom-and-privacy-on-the-internet:7https://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/tor-and-i2p-when-to-use-each:7https://odysee.com/@awuuwa:9/Retroshare-to-Replace-Social-Media-!:7 file details FLAC audio 44100hz 16bit mono volume normalized to peak at 0dB noise reduction applied
