Свободные программы для меня — это распространение, изучение, независимость от монополий, совместное созидание, страсть и свобода! С тех пор, как я — член Содружества, я нахожу новых друзей, которые помогают мне со свободными программами и в других областях, каждый день я узнаю что-то новое, даже если нас разделяют километры. Это восхитительно — быть в сообществе, которое поддерживает мою заинтересованность и любовь к свободным программам!
When I read the term "Intellectual Property" I always suspected it to be a "contradictio in adiecto", because only something physical can be possessed, intellectual ideas can not. To get the best benefit out of ideas for all, they should be spread as wide as possible and with as few restrictions as possible. The GNU General Public License seems to be a good example for such little restriction, especially the inheritance principle prevents possible misuse of the idea about Free Software. Following these ideas in an ethical way, for me the FSFE seems to be the very best NGO to be found. And so I support them. And I only found kind people here.
I love Free Software because it empowers me to do unconventional and innovative things. It allows me to be independent from any single entity, fosters a culture of transparency, deepens my understanding of the tools I use, and helps build a trusting community. I want the next one to have the same freedoms I enjoy and to break the chain of proprietary, unjust software. This is why I support FSFE and proudly advocate for Free Software.
