"I'm a huge Free Software enthusiast. I founded the Open Graphics Project because I want to promote Free Software. I want people, users of computers, to have freedom and control over their computers. I don't want greedy corporations to limit our freedoms and hold us hostage to their DRM, unreliable licensing mechanisms, and a tendency to leave us holding the bag when they go out of business or decide that we haven't paid them enough money. I believe that if you have a piece of technology in your possession, then you have every right to take it apart, understand it, reverse engineer it, and use it however you like, until you decide you no longer want to. Of course, there are limits. Other people have rights too, and rampant piracy is not a good thing, but that is beyond the scope of this blog entry.
"So, I think Free Software should rule the world, and I believe that it is an ethical issue, not merely a practical one. I feel that I am a minor activist in this regard. The more Free Software that people use, the more freedom we'll all have, and I am trying to do my part in my own community project..."
