| 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. |

| 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 |

| 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. |
