Stallman's visit to Reggio Emilia is a unique opportunity to appreciate the importance of free software in a society in which computers, reputedly tools to support human beings, are acquiring a growing role in controlling human activities in fields ranging from social relations to engineering, agriculture, and most areas of life.

Inmediatamente nosotros nos comunicamos con Alexandre Oliva, él estuvo positivo en compartir sus conocimientos, pero cuando le expresamos que había que utilizar un software privativo, inmediatamente ahí puso un llamado de atención. Y desde ahí comenzó a enseñarnos cómo no debemos depender de este software privativo.
Alexandre no utiliza software privativo, está utilizando un software libre. El sistema lo está interconectando con la plataforma que estamos utilizando. Nos enseña que debemos priorizar la libertad, la autonomía y la soberanía.

It is giving me a bittersweet feeling to have Richard Stallman here today. Sweet, because this time the conference is organized by a couple of political philosophers working at the Department of Political Science. And this is a recognition that software is a kind of language organizing and shaping our world, and not just a technical and business issue. It is about free culture. It is about free speech. And it is a freedom that deserves to be understood and protected, even to the point of hacking copyright like Richard Stallman did. The bitterness comes from the fact that most Italian universities are no longer the cradle of free thinking, because they are using—or they are being used by—proprietary clouds and software, to the point that when we had to switch to remote teaching during the pandemics we were recommended as teachers to use Microsoft Teams and Google Classroom. Now we are using Big Blue Button, that is free software, and as you can see it's working perfectly.

Stallman covered many topics about free software that were not included in the TEDx talk, but forgot that it didn't cover copyleft, so he did not speak about that. To learn about copyleft, the license technique he developed in 1985, see What is Copyleft?

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.

To make a digital society worthy of being included in, we must overcome six menaces to freedom: surveillance, censorship, restricted data formats, proprietary software, software as a service, and the war on sharing.

Our guest was Richard Stallman, the man behind GNU and the Free Software Foundation. He condems the Amazon Kindle (his term for it is the “swindle”) because it takes away freedoms that readers of hardcopy books enjoy. Freedoms such as the ability to lend a book to a friend, to borrow one from a library, to buy one anonymously by paying cash, to keep a book as long as we like and to give it away. The Amazon Kindle implements DRM—digital rights management [sic]—to restrict your use of books. He is not against eBook readers per se, just the DRM, which in addition to the above also requires you to run proprietary software to read eBooks. He urged listeners to go to Defectivebydesign.org and sign up to participate in his protests.

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.

BMK's speech starts with a few seconds of background noise. (Possibly the projection screen motor).
In this speech, Brad Kuhn, executive director of the Free Software Foundation, talks about his beginnings in the free software movement, and gives concrete examples from his experience as being a proprietary software developer as to why free software is a far better way to make and sell software. It should be considered a excellent introduction to free software. In the question and answer segment, Mr. Kuhn discusses with the audience far ranging topics that effect the future of the industry, such as the SCO v. IBM lawsuit, file formats, and the DMCA.
This speech was presented by the Free Software Society, a student organization at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign dedicated to the promotion of free software.

This is a speech that I recorded so it could be played at a free software event in Curitiba, Brazil (the state of Parana), in November, 2003. A few points in the speech will not be clear without some background.
The event was actually a corporate trade show, but its title gave the impression of being more of an activist event. The organizers recruited a free software activist to run the speeches track, and he convinced me to attend. Between the title and the fact that my friend was the one asking me, and the fact that the state government of Parana was sponsoring the event, I assumed it was bona-fide free software activism. I agreed to go.
A scandal broke in Brazil when it became known that the event had accepted Microsoft as a major sponsor. My friend tried to defend this as “spending the enemy's money”; he didn't realize that Microsoft knows what it is doing when it buys its way into such events. Then he told me, “Besides, the other major sponsor was Oracle.”
Most of our community is not sufficiently politically aware to recognize that Oracle's sponsorship ought to be just as scandalous as Microsoft's. Regardless of who the owner is, nonfree software tramples your freedom.
I was not sure whether to attend the conference or boycott it. Ultimately I was unable to go to Brazil because of my broken arm. I decided that any harm my participation might do was already done through the use of my name, and that it was better for me to give a speech about what had gone wrong than not to do so.
In this speech, I sought to educate rather than attack the free software activists who participated in the event, as well as the state government of Parana, which I hope will continue promoting free software in the future, but next time will get better guidance in how to do so.
