124 | What if the classic horror trope of the good doctor who becomes a |
125 | monster at night were reversed? Instead of the good Dr. Jekyll |
126 | transforming into the rampaging Mr. Hyde, advocates of free who work |
127 | in nonfree environments can feel as if they only get to put on their |
128 | altruistic persona at night. For academics advocating free software |
129 | and free culture in particular, libre ethics are often at odds with |
130 | both administrative structures and expected teaching outcomes. This |
131 | session explores the struggles of advocating free in both research and |
132 | teaching. |

165 | TAFTA, CETA, and TISA are far-reaching trade agreements posing major |
166 | threats to online freedom and creating legal uncertainty for all |
167 | Internet players. They set forth an ever stronger protection of |
168 | copyright and patents. They 'recycle' the most toxic parts of ACTA, |
169 | the anti-counterfeiting trade agreement which was rejected |
170 | in 2012. The presentation focuses on the software aspects of TAFTA, |
171 | CETA, TISA. We will call for action against these global treaty |
172 | projects and offer alternative proposals, which favour Free Software |
173 | Everywhere. |

254 | Reusing works licensed under free licenses seems pretty simple, but it |
255 | can often be quite time consuming. One image or a few lines of source |
256 | code might be okay, but keeping track of the license and attribution |
257 | of a thousand different pieces, or when quoting from massive data sets |
258 | such as Wikipedia? Whoah! Don’t we have computers to do that for us!? |
259 | We do, but there’s no widespread support for including licensing or |
260 | author information when sharing or reusing digital works. This session |
261 | will discuss how this should work in a free knowledge environment, and |
262 | could it be that many problems regarding copyright and "piracy" in our |
263 | digital society could be solved with free software? |
264 | </p> |
265 | <p> |
266 | In order to relate effectively to the digital works we see online, |
267 | attribution (who made or built something) matters. Proper attribution |
268 | is the start of being able to explore digital works online in their |
269 | right context. This talk will focus on the philosophical background of |
270 | why attribution matters, the benefits that free software can bring to |
271 | the way we work with pieces of art (lolcats and Shakespeare alike), |
272 | and where we're heading in the future. |

329 | The free software movement has twin goals: promoting access to |
330 | software through users' freedom to share, and empowering users by |
331 | giving them control over their technology. For all our movement's |
332 | success, we have been much more successful at the former. I will use |
333 | data from free software and from several related movements to explain |
334 | why promoting empowerment is systematically more difficult than |
335 | promoting access and I will explore how our movement might address the |
336 | second challenge in the future. |

383 | Typically, GPL enforcement activity involves copyright infringement |
384 | actions which compel license violators to correct errors in their GPL |
385 | compliance, defending the policy goals of the GPL: the rights of |
386 | developers and users to copy, share, modify and redistribute. |
387 | </p> |
388 | <p> |
389 | While traditional enforcement is often undeniably necessary for |
390 | embedded electronics products, novel approaches to GPL violations are |
391 | often possible and even superior for more traditional software |
392 | distributions. |
393 | </p> |
394 | <p> |
395 | Recently, Software Freedom Conservancy engaged in an enforcement |
396 | action whereby, rather than fight the violator in court, we instead |
397 | provided resources and assistance to a vetted GPL-compliant fork of a |
398 | violating codebase. |

401 | This talk discusses which scenarios make this remedy optimal and the |
