Wir haben einen Podcast! Beginnend mit dieser Episode werden wir, einmal im Monat mit Personen sprechen, die inspirierende Ideen zu Freier Software haben. In unserer ersten Episode des Software Freedom Podcasts adressieren wir Probleme von DRM zusammen mit Cory Doctorow, dem britisch-kanadischen Schriftsteller und politischem Aktivisten, sowie Co-Autor des Blogs boingboing.net. Außerdem ist er ein prominenter Unterstützer von Softwarefreiheit und weniger restriktiven Urheberrechtsgesetzen. Seine Bücher sind unter Creative-Commons-Lizenzen veröffentlicht.
