(Comments on the book)


Things that are in the book

  • Free Software is good for the community
  • Difference between copyright and patents
  • Copyright was designed to foster public good, not enterprise profit



Things that should be in the book

  • Free Software (development) benefits local communities/enterprises, vs. proprietary software benefits determinate enterprises. This is specially rellevant when talking about underdevelopped and developping countries and promoting endogenous development.
