UNESCO AND FREE SOFTWARE: Dr Richard Stallman gives input

Free software faces difficult challenges and dangers. In an article for UNESCO Free Software Portal, Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation and the author of the GNU General Public License (GPL), and the developer of software like gcc and Emacs, outlines the development in this area since 1984. "I'm grateful to UNESCO for recognizing that, in the domain of software, free software disseminates human knowledge in a way that non-free software cannot do" says Stallman.
