Richard Stallman, champion of free software, has come
up with this axiom to describe the nature of business and
technology, not-quite-so-humbly known as Stallman’s Law:“While corporations dominate society and write the laws, each
advance in technology is an opening for them to further restrict
its users.”This statement, like many created by Stallman over the years, is
likely to be controversial.
