GNU/Linux World Domination for the Wrong Reasons (Datamation)
[Press] Posted Mar 11, 2008 15:24 UTC (Tue) by jake

Over at Datamation, Bruce Byfield has a thoughtful piece about Linux and world domination. "At its most basic, free software is about helping users gain control of their computers so that they can participate unhindered in the digital conversations of the networks and the Internet. It's about installing software freely, rather than being dictated to by the manufacturer. It's about using your computer the way that you want, instead of ceding control to lock-down devices installed by software vendors without permission on your machine."
