Software Livre
“Quatro liberdades essenciais.”Software Livre
Impacto Social
Autonomia
“The free software movement campaigns to win for the users of computing the freedom that comes from free software. Free software puts its users in control of their own computing. Non-free software puts its users under the power of the software's developer.”Conhecimento Público
“The Free Software learning community represents a context in which individuals interact with collaboration peers to solve a particular problem and exchange ideas. [...] The Free Software learning community is composed of developers and users who cooperate to create and sustain a complex learning environment as a by-product of the main activity.”Sowe, et al. "Free-Open Source Learning Community and Web-Based Technologies"
Inclusão Digital
“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 judge also in terms of human rights, the question of whether digital inclusion is good or bad depends on what kind of digital world we are to be included in.”Richard Stallman, "Is Digital Inclusion a Good Thing? How Can We Make Sure It Is"
Construção dos Bens Públicos
“Open Source or Free Software is software that lives in a commons. [...] That, like the works of Shakespeare, is there for anyone to use as they wish without the permission of an owner — take, and use, and build upon to make something better, or better fitted to the particular needs of a particular context.”Lawrence Lessig, "Open Code and Open Societies: The Value Of Internet Governance"
Privacidade
“Using free/libre software [...] is the first step in taking control of our digital lives, and that includes preventing surveillance. We can't trust nonfree software; the NSA uses and even creates security weaknesses in nonfree software to invade our own computers and routers. Free software gives us control of our own computers, but that won't protect our privacy once we set foot on the Internet.”Richard Stallman, "How Much Surveillance Can Democracy Withstand?"
Software Livre
Impacto Cultural
"Ética Hacker"
“[Debian] developers have to learn basic legal knowledge in order to participate effectively in technological production. They must ascertain, for instance, whether the software license on the software application they maintain is compliant with licensing standards [...]”Ética Científica
“Science, as an open process of investigation and discovery, validation, and verification, is not a guaranteed inheritance, but something that had to be created and has yet to be perfected. Openness can not assumed; it must be asserted in order to be assured.”Copyleft
“The simplest way to make a program free software is to put it in the public domain, uncopyrighted. [...] But it also allows uncooperative people to convert the program into proprietary software. They can make changes, many or few, and distribute the result as a proprietary product. People who receive the program in that modified form do not have the freedom that the original author gave them; the middleman has stripped it away.”Software Livre
Impacto Político
Soberania Computacional
“According to Bloomberg, Microsoft shows Windows bugs to the NSA before fixing them. We do not know whether Apple does likewise, but it is under the same U.S. government pressure as Microsoft. For a government to use such software endangers national security.”Richard Stallman, "Why Free Software is more important now than ever before"
Desenvolvimento Local
“SOLIS works toward regional development by finding ways of empowering local businesses through the use of free software. By doing this, people at SOLIS hope these businesses can become more competitive, profitable and able to grow and hire more people.”"SOLIS, a Brazilian Free Software Cooperative" (www.linuxjournal.com)
Desigualdade Tecnológica
“Part of the digital divide comes from artificial obstacles to the sharing of information. This includes the licenses of non-free software, and harmfully restrictive copyright laws. The Brazilian declaration sought measures to promote free software, but the US delegation was firmly against it.”Transparência
“Public sector processes, at least in open societies, need to be open for inspection. Governments have a duty to be fair, and their fairness must be transparent to their citizenry.”Economia
“Em 2012, a Caixa comprou 118 mil licenças do Windows em um gasto total de R$ 112 milhões por 3 anos de contrato [...] No próximo dia 03/09/2015 a Caixa irá fazer uma nova contratação dos produtos da Microsoft. A Caixa pretende pagar R$ 144 milhões por 2 anos de contrato.”"Caixa Econômica Federal Gasta Milhões em Licenças de Software Proprietário" (softwarelivre.org)
