-<p>

-
-<p>
-Chassell can address the following topics:
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-
-<li>He can explain how your legal rights to copy, study, modify, and

-
-<li>He can describe the way freedom shapes the technology of software to
-make it accessible and empowering for both programmers and users.</li>
-
-<li>He can discuss the various business models used by companies to make
-    profits with free software, both in rich and poor countries.</li>
-
-<li>He can speak on the ethical implications of free and restricted
-    software, and how to arrange matters such that acting in a cooperative
-    and law abiding manner is without doubt the best action, for legal,
-    moral, and practical reasons.</li>
-
-<li>He can walk an audience of lawyers, and others who enjoy legal
-    discussion, through the GNU General Public License paragraph by
-    paragraph, and compare that license with other, somewhat different
-    licenses.</li>
-
-<li>From his own experience, he can describe the history of free software
-    from its beginning in the GNU Project through the rise of the
-    phrase <a href="/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html">"open
-    source"</a> to
-    the present flowering of GNU/Linux.</li>
-</ul>
-</dd><dt><strong>Languages</strong></dt><dd>
