51 | The effort to re-decentralize the web has been under way for a number |
52 | of years, but what's really happening under the hood? Various projects |

56 | </a> |
57 | , Friendica Red, and Pump.IO |

87 | What if the classic horror trope of the good doctor who becomes a |
88 | monster at night were reversed? Instead of the good Dr. Jekyll |
89 | transforming into the rampaging Mr. Hyde, advocates of free who work |
90 | in nonfree environments can feel as if they only get to put on their |
91 | altruistic persona at night. For academics advocating free software |
92 | and free culture in particular, libre ethics are often at odds with |
93 | both administrative structures and expected teaching outcomes. This |
94 | session explores the struggles of advocating free in both research and |
95 | teaching. |

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

163 | This year a robotic certificate authority will start issuing |
164 | publicly-trusted certificates, at no charge, by the millions. Called |
165 | Let's Encrypt, this CA is an initiative of several organizations. Our |

167 | turn on HTTPS on their servers in about a minute, helping eliminate |

197 | Reusing works licensed under free licenses seems pretty simple, but it |
198 | can often be quite time consuming. One image or a few lines of source |
199 | code might be okay, but keeping track of the license and attribution |
200 | of a thousand different pieces, or when quoting from massive data sets |
201 | such as Wikipedia? Whoah! Don’t we have computers to do that for us!? |
202 | We do, but there’s no widespread support for including licensing or |
203 | author information when sharing or reusing digital works. This session |
204 | will discuss how this should work in a free knowledge environment, and |
205 | could it be that many problems regarding copyright and "piracy" in our |
206 | digital society could be solved with free software? |
207 | </p> |
208 | <p> |
209 | In order to relate effectively to the digital works we see online, |
210 | attribution (who made or built something) matters. Proper attribution |
211 | is the start of being able to explore digital works online in their |
212 | right context. This talk will focus on the philosophical background of |
213 | why attribution matters, the benefits that free software can bring to |
214 | the way we work with pieces of art (lolcats and Shakespeare alike), |
215 | and where we're heading in the future. |

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

276 | Typically, GPL enforcement activity involves copyright infringement |
277 | actions which compel license violators to correct errors in their GPL |
278 | compliance, defending the policy goals of the GPL: the rights of |
279 | developers and users to copy, share, modify and redistribute. |
280 | </p> |
281 | <p> |
282 | While traditional enforcement is often undeniably necessary for |
283 | embedded electronics products, novel approaches to GPL violations are |
284 | often possible and even superior for more traditional software |
285 | distributions. |
286 | </p> |
287 | <p> |
288 | Recently, Software Freedom Conservancy engaged in an enforcement |
289 | action whereby, rather than fight the violator in court, we instead |
290 | provided resources and assistance to a vetted GPL-compliant fork of a |
291 | violating codebase. |
292 | </p> |
293 | <p> |
294 | This talk discusses which scenarios make this remedy optimal and the |
295 | lessons learned. The talk includes some licensing and technical |
296 | content about vetting the licensing information of codebases. |
