RMS曰く、プロプライエタリーソフトウェアの多くがマルウェア | スラド オープンソース
Richard M. Stallman氏によれば、悪意を持ったプログラムをマルウェアと呼ぶならパッケージ/プリインストールで販売されているプロプライエタリーソフトウェアも例外ではないという(The Guardianの記事)。 Stallman氏がフリーソフトウェア運動を始めた1980年代、自由のないプロプライエタリーソフトウェアであっても開発者はユーザーを尊重していたという。しかし、現在の開発者はユーザーに対して不正な扱いをし、それが問題になると小さな文字で印刷されたEULAを理由に正当化しようとする。Stallman氏はマルウェアとみなされる機能としてユーザーの監視、DRMなどによる使用する自由の制限、バックドア、検閲といったものを挙げている。 マルウェアの例としてStallman氏が最初に指摘するのはOSだ。Windowsはユーザーを監視、制限し、アプリを検閲する。リモートからソフトウ

What Does It Mean for Your Computer to Be Loyal? - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation
by Richard Stallman We say that running free software on your computer means that its operation is under your control. Implicitly this presupposes that your computer will do what your programs tell it to do, and no more. In other words, that your computer will be loyal to you. In 1990 we took that for granted; nowadays, many computers are designed to be disloyal to their users. It has become neces
GNOME To Split from GNU Project? – OSnews
Over the weekend, there has been a bit of a ruffling of the feathers over in the GNOME camp. It started with complaints received about the content on Planet GNOME, and ended with people proposing and organising a vote to split GNOME from the GNU Project. Recap The entire situation started when Lucas Rocha sent an email to the GNOME Foundation mailing list, stating that the Foundation had received
Lest CodePlex perplex — Free Software Foundation — Working together for free software
Many in our community are suspicious of the CodePlex Foundation. With its board of directors dominated by Microsoft employees and ex-employees, plus apologist Miguel de Icaza, there is plenty of reason to be wary of the organization. But that doesn't prove its actions will be bad. Someday we will be able to judge the organization by its actions (including its public relations). Today we can only t

The madness of glibc
Great. Something else for me to have a techie moan about. It's not as if I have any actual work to do, is it? We build devices that run Linux. We make our Linux environment from scratch, so we have an in-house routine of building binutils, gcc, glibc, busybox, and so on. It's standard stuff for those used to the joys of getting Linux built from scatch. Summary: it's embarrassingly hard to build Li
