Free Software is under threat from several quarters:- The inexorable expansion of copyright- Misguided or larcenous software patents- The desire to control the Internet by companies whose business model it threatens- The secret treaty ACTAThese are all real or potential law changes. They are being pushed by governments in response to lobbying from industries which cannot tolerate Free Software. They are contrary to the values of Free Software and to its continued existence.Colin will explain how we allowed those who would outlaw Free Software to seize the initiative and what you can do about it.
