<short><p> The Free Software Movement and the GNU/Linux Operating System </p>
</short>
<abstract>
<p>
Richard Stallman will speak about the Free Software Movement, which
campaigns for freedom so that computer users can cooperate to control
their own computing activities. The Free Software Movement developed the
GNU operating system, often erroneously referred to as Linux, specifically
to establish these freedoms.</p>
<p><b>About Richard Stallman:</b>&nbsp;
Richard Stallman launched the development of the GNU operating system (see
<a href="http://www.gnu.org">www.gnu.org</a>) in 1984. GNU is free software: everyone has the freedom to
copy it and redistribute it, as well as to make changes either large or
small. The GNU/Linux system, basically the GNU operating system with Linux
added, is used on tens of millions of computers today. Stallman has
received the ACM Grace Hopper Award, a MacArthur Foundation fellowship,
the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Pioneer award, and the the Takeda
Award for Social/Economic Betterment, as well as several honorary
doctorates.</p>
