"Ethics in Computing: What Price Freedom?" is now available to view online. Leeds Media Services filmed, edited and provided the visual effects for the video which was produced for the Inter-disciplinary Ethics Applied centre at the University of Leeds.
This video introduces a number of important ethical issues raised by Free Software. Featuring exclusive interview footage with Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation, it explores the claims made by proponents of Free Software such as the following. What is free software, and what kind of freedoms does it claim to preserve? How important are these freedoms (if they are important)? What is at stake in the decisions of students and programmers about the licence terms under which they make their software available. What is at stake in the decisions of companies, schools, universities, and large organisations in their choice of software? Do the claims of the free software movement depend on a rejection of intellectual property? It also explores how successful the campaign for free software has been (and the success of GNU/Linux), and what challenges remain.
