So this weeks lecture was based around the term 'free'.
xThis began with the introduction of creative commons which is basically a free copyright license. It's the notion of a creation having some rights reserved as opposed to all rights reserved. This is great for both people who want to get their creations out there without losing credit for it as well as people who wish to collaborate other pieces of work to create their own.
The next part of the lecture was about free software. I personally think that Richard M Stallman is a legend for wanting to create a whole system comprised of free software. I especially loved his 3 freedoms regarding software. This guy really had morals when it comes to computer sofware.
I really liked the quote at the end of the slides which said 'you paid for your computer with your hard earned money, don't let companies tell you how to use your computer'.
And on that great note, I shall leave you to your thoughts.
