The Promise of Software Libre (Open Source)

This week\’s Library
Juice
has a relatively long webliography on the Free
Software Movement
, with brief annotations. It\’s less
about the software itself and more about the
social/economic implications of the movement. I think
there\’s a natural match between librarians (\”content\”) and
Free Software proponents (techne) for a way of doing
things in the information age that forms a viable
alternative to capitalist information practices.
