<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVst8HK-2EY">Bryan Lunduke has a video</a>
|
|
where he argues that technology is not political and, by extension, free
|
|
software is just a technical endeavour.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Here is the part of his opinion that is specifically about free software
|
|
and which I use as a basis for my counterpoint:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Once you see something as a movement of people with an ideology,
|
|
politics comes into play with that. And to say that there are no
|
|
politics involved in free software would clearly be wrong. Clearly
|
|
that would be wrong. However, free software, in and of itself, is not
|
|
political at all. <strong>It is simply a license applied to software where
|
|
source code is available.</strong></p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>In my video I also refer to a case that Richard Stallman talks about in
|
|
one of his presentations. It concerns a printer and the proprietary
|
|
software it came with. This is <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/rms-nyu-2001-transcript.txt">the
|
|
transcript</a>.</p>

|
<hr />
|
|
|
|
<p>I usually do video tutorials about Emacs and other technical free
|
|
software topics such as the Binary Space Partitioning Window Manager.
|
|
Stay tuned for more.</p>
