#OpenSource dot com asks: What was the most important moment in the history of #Linux? - Many people probably no longer know that early versions of Linux where proprietary because the license prohibited commercial redistribution. Therefore, for me it was the most important moment when Linus Thorvalds released Linux as #FreeSoftware under the #GNU #GPL. Otherwise Linux wouldn't have had this enormous success. https://opensource.com/article/18/8/linux-history

There are plenty of devices and media that preserve our freedom. You can choose to live without #DRM.

We can buy media that we can use forever, in any format of our choice. With a little research, we can choose devices that do not lock us in.

#DRM also endangers our privacy. Remember how in 2005 it was found out that the #Sony #rootkit was spying on users and was loaded onto roughly 25 million CDs and infected more than 550,000 networks in more than one hundred countries:

@aral I think that's one of the common rumors. That Free Software is about Copyleft and Open Source is about non-Copyleft. But if you look at the license lists of FSF and OSI, you will see that this is not true. And many people who talk about Open Source use copyleft licenses. On the other hand you will find people talking about Free Software but prefer non-Copyleft licenses. I describe this in great detail in the article I linked to earlier.
