0 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000 Moderator: Richard, please 1 00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:04,000 Richard: Oh, it stopped showing the time 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,000 I just stroke it a little bit 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000 I don't use these handheld computers 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000 because they have non-free software in them 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000 Um, well, some of you might be wondering why I have aluminium foil around my badge 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000 It's because there is an RFID in the badge 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000 An RFID is a tracking device. If you have an RFID on you 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000 it can be tracked at any time, 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000 so they are a terrible threat to privacy rights 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000 and because of that I am fighting back 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000 I have got aluminium foil here 12 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,000 if you want to shield 13 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000 your RFID so that it can't be tracked 14 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000 then come and get some when the panel is over. 15 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000 But I have been fighting for freedom 16 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000 for a long time. Twenty-two years ago now 17 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000 I announced the beginning of the Free Software movement, 18 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000 a social movement for freedom for computer users 19 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000 specifically, the freedom to cooperate 20 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000 and the freedom to control your own computer 21 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000 the freedom for users to work together 22 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000 in a community controlling the software that they use. 23 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000 This was impossible in 1983 24 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000 because computers don't do anything without an operating system 25 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000 it's just a piece of metal and silicon 26 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000 that is totally useless 27 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000 but all the operating systems 22 years ago 28 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000 were proprietary software, 29 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000 software that keeps users divided and helpless. 30 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000 So,... I was determined not to have to live that way in using computers 31 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000 I don't want to be helpless 32 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000 and I don't want to be forbidden to share with you 33 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000 So I decided I would do something about it 34 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000 What can I do? 35 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000 I had no political party behind me 36 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000 I couldn't expect to convince governments or corporations 37 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000 to change any of their policies. 38 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000 but I did know how to write software 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000 so I said: I'm gonna develop 40 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000 another operating system and, with the help of 41 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000 whoever will join in 42 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,000 and together we will make it free software 43 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,000 we will respect your freedom 44 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000 and you will be able then to use computers 45 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000 in freedom with this operating system 46 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000 But what does this freedom mean? 47 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000 There are 4 essential freedoms 48 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000 that make the definition of free software 49 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000 and they are: Freedom Zero 50 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000 the freedom to run the program however you wish 51 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000 Freedom 1, the freedom to help yourself 52 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000 that's the freedom to study the source code 53 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000 and change it to do what you wish 54 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,000 then there is Freedom 2 55 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000 the freedom to help your neighbor 56 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000 that's the freedom to copy the program 57 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000 and distribute the copies to others when you wish 58 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000 and Freedom 3 is the freedom to help your community 59 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000 that's the freedom to publish or distribute 60 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000 a modified version when you wish 61 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000 With all four freedoms the program is free software 62 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000 but these freedoms should not be strange to you 63 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000 at least not if you cook 64 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000 because people who cook enjoy the same four freedoms 65 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000 in using recipes 66 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000 the freedom to cook the recipe when you want 67 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000 that's Freedom Zero 68 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000 the freedom to study the ingredients 69 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000 and how it's done an then change it 70 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000 that is freedom one. Cooks frequently change recipes 71 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000 and then the freedom to copy it 72 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000 and give copies to your friends, that's Freedom 2 73 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000 and then there is..., Freedom 3 is less frequently exercised 74 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000 because it is more work, 75 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000 but if you cook your version of the recipe 76 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000 for a dinner with your friends 77 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000 and a friend says: "That was great! Could I have the recipe?" 78 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000 you can write down your version of the recipe 79 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000 and make a copy for your friend 80 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000 The same four freedoms! 81 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000 And this is no coincidence! 82 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000 because programs like recipes 83 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000 are works that you use for practical work 84 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000 you use them to do something 85 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000 and when you use a work to do something 86 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000 if you are not in control of it you are not in control of your life 87 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000 and if you cannot share with other people 88 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000 you are forbidden to be a part of a community 89 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000 Imagine how angry everyone who cooks would be 90 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000 if someday the government says: 91 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000 From now on if you share or change a recipe, 92 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000 we are gonna call you a pirate! 93 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000 We are gonna compare you to people who attack ships! 94 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000 And we are gonna put you in prison for years 95 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000 because that's forbidden cooperation 96 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000 Imagine the angers that there would be! 97 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000 That anger is at the basis of the Free Software movement, too. 98 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000 we want to have freedom in using our computers 99 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000 So we developed the GNU operating system 100 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,000 throughout the 1980s, 101 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000 and in 1992 the last missing piece was put in place 102 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:60,000 That last missing piece is a kernel called Linux 103 00:04:60,000 --> 00:05:04,000 so Linux is not an operating system, it's one essential component 104 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000 of a system which is the GNU system plus Linux 105 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000 the GNU / Linux system 106 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000 and that system now is used on tens of millions of computers 107 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,000 Jon Hall estimated a 100 million a year or two ago 108 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000 no one really knows, because, you see, we are all free, 109 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,000 nobody can keep track of what we are doing, thats part 110 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,000 of the freedom that nobody knows exactly what is going on, 111 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000 because you don't have to tell anybody 112 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000 So, today it's possible to use a computer in freedom 113 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000 but that doesn't mean freedom is safe forever 114 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000 Freedom is never safe forever! 115 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,000 There's always the danger that you get somebody like a George Bush who wants 116 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000 to take it away! 117 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000 Even in the countries like the US which says 118 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000 freedom is what we are all about 119 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000 that can be turned into mere lip-service 120 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:60,000 freedoms can be crushed 121 00:05:60,000 --> 00:06:03,000 so, for people to have freedom, 122 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000 we have to be prepared to defend freedom 123 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000 and in order to defend our freedom 124 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000 we have to recognize what it means 125 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,500 that's the first step 126 00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:15,000 so that's why I'm here today 127 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000 talking to you about free software 128 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000 and the freedoms that it represents 129 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000 freedoms for you 130 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000 because that way you will know what your freedom means 131 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000 and then, maybe, next year 132 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,000 or next decade you will help us defend these freedoms 133 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000 and they may continue 134 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000 many people focus on encouraging 135 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,000 more users to switch to free software 136 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000 well, that's a useful thing to do 137 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000 but that alone is not going 138 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000 to bring us to freedoms that endure 139 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,000 if we gave everybody in the world free software today 140 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,000 but we would fail to teach them 141 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000 about the four freedoms 142 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000 then 5 years from now: 143 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000 Would they still have free software? 144 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000 Probably not! 145 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000 Because if they don't recognize their freedoms 146 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,000 they will let their freedoms fall 147 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000 they will let freedom slip through their fingers 148 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000 because they won't bother to close their hands 149 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000 if they don't know why 150 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000 so along with developing free software 151 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000 along with distributing it, teaching people to use it 152 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000 encouraging people to try it and switch to it 153 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000 we have to be constantly teaching the same people 154 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000 why it matters 155 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000 that it's not just about how we get powerful convenient 156 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000 software and how to get it as cheap as possible 157 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000 it's about how you can live in freedom 158 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000 and be a good neighbour 159 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000 So, how does this relate to the issues of development? 160 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,000 Is free software better for development? 161 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000 Well, that's an understatement. 162 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000 Free software is the only software 163 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000 whose use constitutes development 164 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,000 because the use of a non-free program 165 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000 is not development, it's electronic colonization 166 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000 What does it mean if your society 167 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000 increases the use of non-free software? 168 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,000 well, that's software that nobody 169 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000 in your city can fix, unless you 170 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000 happen to live just in the right place in the world 171 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000 nobody in your city is in a position 172 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000 to understand it 173 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000 maintain it, adapt it 174 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000 extend it, or do anything with it 175 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000 it's just like the old colonial system 176 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000 where the colonial power had all the industry 177 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000 they made all the technology 178 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000 and the people in the colony 179 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,000 they just had to buy it 180 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000 and they weren't supposed to understand anything or make anything 181 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,000 they hardly even knew how to fix it - 182 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,000 imagine if you were buying cars 183 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000 and they came from the US 184 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000 and anytime they broke you had to ship them back to the US 185 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,000 because it is a secret 186 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,000 how they work inside 187 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000 and nobody in your country is allowed 188 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000 to learn how to fix them 189 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000 that's what proprietary software is like 190 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000 so this is not sustainable development 191 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,000 it's not appropriate technology 192 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000 this is a technology of dependence 193 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000 and dependence is exactly what 194 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000 that system is all about 195 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000 it's keeping people helpless 196 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000 another feature of the old colonial system was 197 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000 divide and rule 198 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,000 set people against each other 199 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000 don't allow them to cooperate 200 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000 because that makes it easier 201 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000 to keep all of them in subjection 202 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000 now, divide - dividing people 203 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000 and subjugating them 204 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000 it's not just a minor side-aspect 205 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000 of proprietary software 206 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000 it's what makes it proprietary software 207 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000 the license says you are forbidden to share it with anyone 208 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000 and you can't get the source code 209 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000 so you can't know what's inside it 210 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000 so you can't control it -divide it and subjugate it 211 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000 that's what the nature of proprietary software is 212 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000 so of course the system comes out 213 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000 looking like the colonial system 214 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000 another feature you might remember 215 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000 from the colonial system was 216 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000 that the colonial power 217 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000 would recruit a local elite 218 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000 a few local people who would, 219 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000 like, maybe, the nobles 220 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000 or whoever, or like 221 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000 on tribe against another 222 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000 or they would create tribes 223 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000 if there weren't tribes 224 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000 so that they could massacre 225 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000 each other decades later 226 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000 and so the local elite 227 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,000 they would get certain privileges 228 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000 and in return they would help 229 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000 keep everybody else down 230 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000 well, you can see that today 231 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000 some proprietary software companies 232 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000 actively recruit local elites 233 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,000 they set up a software development center 234 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000 in your country, and the people 235 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000 who work there are part of the local elite 236 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000 or they do some favor either 237 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000 for politicans secretly 238 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000 or for the government openly 239 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000 but it doesn't make any difference which one, 240 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000 in either way they are buying influence in the government 241 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,000 converting that government 242 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,000 from a sovereign state 243 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,000 into their local overseer 244 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000 of their empire whose job is to make sure 245 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000 everybody else becomes dependent 246 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,000 on the same non-free software 247 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000 they say to schools: 248 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,000 we will help you by giving you these gratis copies 249 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000 of our non-free software 250 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000 so that you can turn your students 251 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000 into addicts of our software 252 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000 Why do I use the term addicts? 253 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000 because they develop a dependency 254 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000 on this software, and then after they graduate 255 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000 you can be sure they are not 256 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000 gonna be offered these gratis copies anymore 257 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000 because it's only the first dose that's gratis 258 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000 once you are addicted 259 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000 then you are supposed to pay 260 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000 and then also of course the companies 261 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,000 that these graduates work for 262 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000 those companies are not gonna be offered gratis copies 263 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000 so what essentially, what these software companies 264 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000 they are recruiting the schools 265 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000 into agents to lead people into 266 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000 permanent life-long dependency 267 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000 These are the things that 268 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000 the Open Source movement usually doesn't talk about 269 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000 that's why I don't support Open Source 270 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,000 Open Source is a way of promoting 271 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,000 software that usually is free 272 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,000 but without mentioning these ideals 273 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000 these are issues of freedom 274 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000 they are left in the background 275 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,000 Open Source people usually talk 276 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000 only about practical values 277 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000 you know, how do you get powerful 278 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000 convenient software 279 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,000 and how much will it cost 280 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,000 well, free software probably allows you to save money, too 281 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,000 if you are not being forced to pay for permission 282 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000 so use it, you can probably save money 283 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000 but I think that's a secondary issue 284 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,000 even in poor countries freedom is important 285 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000 we should never start saying: 286 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,000 Oh, they are so poor, 287 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000 freedom for them doesn't matter 288 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000 all they need is some bread and circusses 289 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000 - which they had here once upon a time 290 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000 and then they shouldn't even think about being free 291 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000 I think freedom is important 292 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000 in every country, in every society 293 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000 whether it's rich or poor 294 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,000 nonetheless, people who support Open Source 295 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000 often contribute to extending 296 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000 the free software community 297 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000 many of them develop free software 298 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000 those are useful contributions 299 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,000 I am not saying that what they do is bad 300 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,000 I am saying that by itself, it is not enough! 301 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000 because it's weak, you see, when you say the goal 302 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,000 is to have powerful, reliable, convenient software and get it cheap 303 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000 then it becomes possible 304 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000 for the representatives of proprietary software 305 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000 to say: well, we claim, we deliver you 306 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:60,000 more powerful reliable software 307 00:13:60,000 --> 00:14:03,000 we claim that our total cost of ownership will be cheaper 308 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,000 and I think it's usually bullshit 309 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,000 when Microsoft says that it's based on distorted facts 310 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,000 but, it's weak 311 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,000 but when we say the goal is to live in freedom 312 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,000 and to be allowed to cooperate with other people in a community 313 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,000 they can't say they are going to offer us more of that cheaper 314 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000 because they don't offer that at all 315 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000 they are not even competing with us 316 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000 they are out of the running 317 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000 once you decide you want to live in freedom 318 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000 they are out of the running 319 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000 so - we are trying to help you 320 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000 reach freedom in a community 321 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000 they are trying to subjugate you 322 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,000 But they say they will get you there faster! 323 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,000 And maybe they would. 324 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,000 I guess I will yield the rest of my time 325 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000 because I have said what I need to say. 326 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,000 Moderator: This is a remarkable, 327 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000 this is one of the most remarkable moments in my life 328 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000 I think that we should all be cherished to be here today 329 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000 because this is the first time history, and it's recorded history 330 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000 that Richard Stallman has ended a speech early 331 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000 RMS: You are wrong, I did it a few weeks ago, too! 332 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000 - Applause - 333 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,000 Moderator: I don't know what to say 334 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000 But I am about to try 335 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,000 Perens: Ken, Ken is really happy because his job 336 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000 was a lot easier than he thought it would be
