Heh, there's a recommendation if ever I heard one ;) Personally, if I were trying to explain Free Software -- even to some computer professionals who didn't immediately get the ethical implications of software availability -- then I would probably talk about shared knowledge in science or something else they'd be more familiar with from an early age. Once they got that, you could then draw parallels. -- Lee Braiden http://peaceforge.org "Visions without implementations are hallucinations" -- anon. _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
