Students, and anyone else in Glasgow next Thursday for that matter, are invited to a departmental seminar given by Robert Chassell the Founding Director and Treasurer of the Free Software Foundation:

Free Software: Access and Empowerment

Thursday 7 February @ 14:00
Room R641, Royal College Building, University of Strathclyde

Talk Abstract

What I want to do is explain what free software is, describe its history briefly, and tell you how it gives you more access and more power within the world of the Internet and high technology.

I will discuss the confusion that results from the two meanings of the word `free' in English, and the way the legal framework of freedom leads to competitive free markets.

Then, I will talk about education and business.

Enclosures:
None.
