I use this page as a collector for all important websites, webpages, links, … about ‘Free Software’.
I know that the expression ‘Free Software’ is not entirely correct to describe the subject of this section, but I will stick to it for simplicity’s sake. I use the term as an abbreviation for the (different) movements about ‘Free software’, ‘Open Source’, and the like.
If you are really interested in this subject, please do read the article paper “The Ethics of Free Software” by Bertrand Meyer!
