     @elmiko
     Thank you for sharing!

     It's really important to remind us of the moral dimension of software freedom and to link this to human freedom: Free Software is primarily for people and not to create freedom for companies.

     I found two summaries of the talk. One by @doctorow at @boingboing

     "How markets plundered Free Software's best stuff and used it to create freedom for companies, not people"

     And one by @mako on his website:
