  1. [Meme] When the People Who Falsely Accuse You of Pedophilia Turn Out to be Projecting
    When you attack something or someone using falsehoods, as happens a lot to Richard Stallman (RMS), there's risk that the attacks will backfire, badly
  2. Why I Continue to Believe That at the End Software Freedom Will Win
    a short and incomplete list of factors which I believe contribute to the sentiment that we can - and will - win the battles over hearts and minds in the "Tech" realm
  3. Technology: rights or responsibilities? - Part X
    By Dr. Andy Farnell
