+<h2>Overview of the GNU System</h2>
+
+<p>
+The GNU operating system is a complete free software system,
+upward-compatible with Unix.  GNU stands for &ldquo;GNU's Not Unix&rdquo;.
+<a href="http://www.stallman.org/";>Richard Stallman</a> made the
+<a href="/gnu/initial-announcement.html">Initial Announcement</a> of
+the GNU Project in September 1983.  A longer version called
+the <a href="/gnu/manifesto.html">GNU Manifesto</a> was published in
+March 1985.  It has been translated into several
+<a href="/gnu/manifesto.html#translations">other languages</a>.</p>
+
+<p>
+The name &ldquo;GNU&rdquo; was chosen because it met a few
+requirements; first, it was a recursive acronym for &ldquo;GNU's Not
+Unix&rdquo;, second, because it was a real word, and third, it was fun
+to say (or
+<a href="http://www.poppyfields.net/poppy/songs/gnu.html";>Sing</a>).</p>
+
+<p>
+The word &ldquo;free&rdquo; in &ldquo;free software&rdquo; pertains to
+<a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">freedom</a>, not price.  You may or
+may not pay a price to get GNU software.  Either way, once you have
+the software you have three specific freedoms in using it.  First, the
+freedom to copy the program and give it away to your friends and
+co-workers; second, the freedom to change the program as you wish, by
+having full access to source code; third, the freedom to distribute an
+improved version and thus help build the community.  (If you
+redistribute GNU software, you may charge a fee for the physical act
+of transferring a copy, or you may give away copies.)</p>
+
+<p>
+The project to develop the GNU system is called the &ldquo;GNU
+Project&rdquo;.  The GNU Project was conceived in 1983 as a way of
+bringing back the cooperative spirit that prevailed in the computing
+community in earlier days&mdash;to make cooperation possible once again by
+removing the obstacles to cooperation imposed by the owners of
+proprietary software.</p>
+
+<p>
+In 1971, when Richard Stallman started his career at MIT, he worked in
+a group which used <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">free
+software</a> exclusively.  Even computer companies often distributed
+free software.  Programmers were free to cooperate with each other,
+and often did.</p>
+
+<p>
+By the 1980s, almost all software was
+<a href="/philosophy/categories.html#ProprietarySoftware">proprietary</a>,
+which means that it had owners who forbid and
+prevent cooperation by users.  This made the GNU Project necessary.</p>
+
+<p>
+Every computer user needs an operating system; if there is no free
+operating system, then you can't even get started using a computer
+without resorting to proprietary software.  So the first item on the
+free software agenda obviously had to be a free operating system.</p>
+
+<p>
+We decided to make the operating system compatible with Unix because
+the overall design was already proven and portable, and because
+compatibility makes it easy for Unix users to switch from Unix to GNU.</p>
+
+<p>
+A Unix-like operating system includes a kernel, compilers, editors,
+text formatters, mail software, graphical interfaces, libraries, games
+and many other things.  Thus, writing a whole operating system is a
+very large job.  We started in January 1984.
+The <a href="http://fsf.org/";> Free Software Foundation</a> was
+founded in October 1985, initially to raise funds to help develop
+GNU.</p>
+
+<p>By 1990 we had either found or written all the major components
+except one&mdash;the kernel.  Then Linux, a Unix-like kernel, was
+developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and made free software in 1992.
+Combining Linux with the almost-complete GNU system resulted in a
+complete operating system: the GNU/Linux system.  Estimates are that
+tens of millions of people now use GNU/Linux systems, typically
+via <a href="/distros">GNU/Linux distributions</a>.  The principal
+version of Linux now contains non-free firmware &ldquo;blobs&rdquo;;
+free software activists now maintain a modified free version of Linux,
+called <a href="http://directory.fsf.org/project/linux";>
+Linux-libre</a>.)</p>
+
+<p>
+However, the GNU Project is not limited to the core operating system.
+We aim to provide a whole spectrum of software, whatever many users
+want to have.  This includes application software.  See
+the <a href="/directory">Free Software Directory</a> for a catalogue
+of free software application programs.</p>
+
+<p>
+We also want to provide software for users who are not computer
+experts.  Therefore we developed a
+<a href="http://www.gnome.org/";>graphical desktop (called GNOME)</a> to help
+beginners use the GNU system.</p>
+
+<p>We also want to provide games and other recreations.  Plenty of <a
+href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Category/Game";>free games</a> are
+already available.</p>
+
+<p>
+How far can free software go?  There are no limits, except
+when <a href="/philosophy/fighting-software-patents.html">laws such as
+the patent system prohibit free software</a>.  The ultimate goal is to
+provide free software to do all of the jobs computer users want to
+do&mdash;and thus make proprietary software a thing of the past.</p>

+<h2>Overview of the GNU System</h2>
+
+<p>
+The GNU operating system is a complete free software system,
+upward-compatible with Unix.  GNU stands for &ldquo;GNU's Not Unix&rdquo;.
+<a href="http://www.stallman.org/";>Richard Stallman</a> made the
+<a href="/gnu/initial-announcement.html">Initial Announcement</a> of
+the GNU Project in September 1983.  A longer version called
+the <a href="/gnu/manifesto.html">GNU Manifesto</a> was published in
+March 1985.  It has been translated into several
+<a href="/gnu/manifesto.html#translations">other languages</a>.</p>
+
+<p>
+The name &ldquo;GNU&rdquo; was chosen because it met a few
+requirements; first, it was a recursive acronym for &ldquo;GNU's Not
+Unix&rdquo;, second, because it was a real word, and third, it was fun
+to say (or
+<a href="http://www.poppyfields.net/poppy/songs/gnu.html";>Sing</a>).</p>
+
+<p>
+The word &ldquo;free&rdquo; in &ldquo;free software&rdquo; pertains to
+<a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">freedom</a>, not price.  You may or
+may not pay a price to get GNU software.  Either way, once you have
+the software you have three specific freedoms in using it.  First, the
+freedom to copy the program and give it away to your friends and
+co-workers; second, the freedom to change the program as you wish, by
+having full access to source code; third, the freedom to distribute an
+improved version and thus help build the community.  (If you
+redistribute GNU software, you may charge a fee for the physical act
+of transferring a copy, or you may give away copies.)</p>
+
+<p>
+The project to develop the GNU system is called the &ldquo;GNU
+Project&rdquo;.  The GNU Project was conceived in 1983 as a way of
+bringing back the cooperative spirit that prevailed in the computing
+community in earlier days&mdash;to make cooperation possible once again by
+removing the obstacles to cooperation imposed by the owners of
+proprietary software.</p>
+
+<p>
+In 1971, when Richard Stallman started his career at MIT, he worked in
+a group which used <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">free
+software</a> exclusively.  Even computer companies often distributed
+free software.  Programmers were free to cooperate with each other,
+and often did.</p>
+
+<p>
+By the 1980s, almost all software was
+<a href="/philosophy/categories.html#ProprietarySoftware">proprietary</a>,
+which means that it had owners who forbid and
+prevent cooperation by users.  This made the GNU Project necessary.</p>
+
+<p>
+Every computer user needs an operating system; if there is no free
+operating system, then you can't even get started using a computer
+without resorting to proprietary software.  So the first item on the
+free software agenda obviously had to be a free operating system.</p>
+
+<p>
+We decided to make the operating system compatible with Unix because
+the overall design was already proven and portable, and because
+compatibility makes it easy for Unix users to switch from Unix to GNU.</p>
+
+<p>
+A Unix-like operating system includes a kernel, compilers, editors,
+text formatters, mail software, graphical interfaces, libraries, games
+and many other things.  Thus, writing a whole operating system is a
+very large job.  We started in January 1984.
+The <a href="http://fsf.org/";> Free Software Foundation</a> was
+founded in October 1985, initially to raise funds to help develop
+GNU.</p>
+
+<p>By 1990 we had either found or written all the major components
+except one&mdash;the kernel.  Then Linux, a Unix-like kernel, was
+developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and made free software in 1992.
+Combining Linux with the almost-complete GNU system resulted in a
+complete operating system: the GNU/Linux system.  Estimates are that
+tens of millions of people now use GNU/Linux systems, typically
+via <a href="/distros">GNU/Linux distributions</a>.  The principal
+version of Linux now contains non-free firmware &ldquo;blobs&rdquo;;
+free software activists now maintain a modified free version of Linux,
+called <a href="http://directory.fsf.org/project/linux";>
+Linux-libre</a>.)</p>
+
+<p>
+However, the GNU Project is not limited to the core operating system.
+We aim to provide a whole spectrum of software, whatever many users
+want to have.  This includes application software.  See
+the <a href="/directory">Free Software Directory</a> for a catalogue
+of free software application programs.</p>
+
+<p>
+We also want to provide software for users who are not computer
+experts.  Therefore we developed a
+<a href="http://www.gnome.org/";>graphical desktop (called GNOME)</a> to help
+beginners use the GNU system.</p>
+
+<p>We also want to provide games and other recreations.  Plenty of <a
+href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Category/Game";>free games</a> are
+already available.</p>
+
+<p>
+How far can free software go?  There are no limits, except
+when <a href="/philosophy/fighting-software-patents.html">laws such as
+the patent system prohibit free software</a>.  The ultimate goal is to
+provide free software to do all of the jobs computer users want to
+do&mdash;and thus make proprietary software a thing of the past.</p>

+<h2>The Right to Read</h2>
+
+<p>
+by <a href="http://www.stallman.org/";><strong>Richard Stallman</strong></a></p>
+
+<p>
+<em>This article appeared in the February 1997 issue
+of <strong>Communications of the ACM</strong> (Volume 40, Number
+2).</em></p>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+            From <cite>The Road To Tycho</cite>, a collection of
+            articles about the antecedents of the Lunarian
+            Revolution, published in Luna City in 2096.
+</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>
+For Dan Halbert, the road to Tycho began in college&mdash;when Lissa
+Lenz asked to borrow his computer.  Hers had broken down, and unless
+she could borrow another, she would fail her midterm project.  There
+was no one she dared ask, except Dan.</p>
+
+<p>
+This put Dan in a dilemma.  He had to help her&mdash;but if he lent
+her his computer, she might read his books.  Aside from the fact that
+you could go to prison for many years for letting someone else read
+your books, the very idea shocked him at first.  Like everyone, he had
+been taught since elementary school that sharing books was nasty and
+wrong&mdash;something that only pirates would do.</p>
+
+<p>
+And there wasn't much chance that the SPA&mdash;the Software
+Protection Authority&mdash;would fail to catch him.  In his software
+class, Dan had learned that each book had a copyright monitor that
+reported when and where it was read, and by whom, to Central
+Licensing.  (They used this information to catch reading pirates, but
+also to sell personal interest profiles to retailers.)  The next time
+his computer was networked, Central Licensing would find out.  He, as
+computer owner, would receive the harshest punishment&mdash;for not
+taking pains to prevent the crime.</p>
+
+<p>
+Of course, Lissa did not necessarily intend to read his books.  She
+might want the computer only to write her midterm.  But Dan knew she
+came from a middle-class family and could hardly afford the tuition,
+let alone her reading fees.  Reading his books might be the only way
+she could graduate.  He understood this situation; he himself had had
+to borrow to pay for all the research papers he read.  (Ten percent of those
+fees went to the researchers who wrote the papers; since Dan aimed for
+an academic career, he could hope that his own research papers, if
+frequently referenced, would bring in enough to repay this loan.)</p>
+
+<p>
+Later on, Dan would learn there was a time when anyone could go to the
+library and read journal articles, and even books, without having to
+pay.  There were independent scholars who read thousands of pages
+without government library grants.  But in the 1990s, both commercial
+and nonprofit journal publishers had begun charging fees for access.
+By 2047, libraries offering free public access to scholarly literature
+were a dim memory.</p>
+
+<p>
+There were ways, of course, to get around the SPA and Central
+Licensing.  They were themselves illegal.  Dan had had a classmate in
+software, Frank Martucci, who had obtained an illicit debugging tool,
+and used it to skip over the copyright monitor code when reading
+books.  But he had told too many friends about it, and one of them
+turned him in to the SPA for a reward (students deep in debt were
+easily tempted into betrayal).  In 2047, Frank was in prison, not for
+pirate reading, but for possessing a debugger.</p>
+
+<p>
+Dan would later learn that there was a time when anyone could have
+debugging tools.  There were even free debugging tools available on CD
+or downloadable over the net.  But ordinary users started using them
+to bypass copyright monitors, and eventually a judge ruled that this
+had become their principal use in actual practice.  This meant they
+were illegal; the debuggers' developers were sent to prison.</p>
+
+<p>
+Programmers still needed debugging tools, of course, but debugger
+vendors in 2047 distributed numbered copies only, and only to
+officially licensed and bonded programmers.  The debugger Dan used in
+software class was kept behind a special firewall so that it could be
+used only for class exercises.</p>
+
+<p>
+It was also possible to bypass the copyright monitors by installing a
+modified system kernel.  Dan would eventually find out about the free
+kernels, even entire free operating systems, that had existed around
+the turn of the century.  But not only were they illegal, like
+debuggers&mdash;you could not install one if you had one, without
+knowing your computer's root password.  And neither
+the <abbr title="Federal Bureau of Investigation">FBI</abbr> nor
+Microsoft Support would tell you that.</p>
+
+<p>
+Dan concluded that he couldn't simply lend Lissa his computer.  But he
+couldn't refuse to help her, because he loved her.  Every chance to
+speak with her filled him with delight.  And that she chose him to ask
+for help, that could mean she loved him too.</p>
+
+<p>
+Dan resolved the dilemma by doing something even more
+unthinkable&mdash;he lent her the computer, and told her his password.
+This way, if Lissa read his books, Central Licensing would think he
+was reading them.  It was still a crime, but the SPA would not
+automatically find out about it.  They would only find out if Lissa
+reported him.</p>
+
+<p>
+Of course, if the school ever found out that he had given Lissa his
+own password, it would be curtains for both of them as students,
+regardless of what she had used it for.  School policy was that any
+interference with their means of monitoring students' computer use was
+grounds for disciplinary action.  It didn't matter whether you did
+anything harmful&mdash;the offense was making it hard for the
+administrators to check on you.  They assumed this meant you were
+doing something else forbidden, and they did not need to know what it
+was.</p>
+
+<p>
+Students were not usually expelled for this&mdash;not directly.
+Instead they were banned from the school computer systems, and would
+inevitably fail all their classes.</p>
+
+<p>
+Later, Dan would learn that this kind of university policy started
+only in the 1980s, when university students in large numbers began
+using computers.  Previously, universities maintained a different
+approach to student discipline; they punished activities that were
+harmful, not those that merely raised suspicion.</p>
+
+<p>
+Lissa did not report Dan to the SPA.  His decision to help her led to
+their marriage, and also led them to question what they had been
+taught about piracy as children.  The couple began reading about the
+history of copyright, about the Soviet Union and its restrictions on
+copying, and even the original United States Constitution.  They moved
+to Luna, where they found others who had likewise gravitated away from
+the long arm of the SPA.  When the Tycho Uprising began in 2062, the
+universal right to read soon became one of its central aims.</p>
+
+
+<h3 id="AuthorsNote">Author's Note</h3>
+
+<p>[This note has been updated several times since the first
+publication of the story.]</p>
+
+<p>
+The right to read is a battle being fought today.  Although it may
+take 50 years for our present way of life to fade into obscurity, most
+of the specific laws and practices described above have already been
+proposed; many have been enacted into law in the US and elsewhere.  In
+the US, the 1998 Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) established the legal
+basis to restrict the reading and lending of computerized books (and
+other works as well).  The European Union imposed similar restrictions
+in a 2001 copyright directive.  In France, under the DADVSI law
+adopted in 2006, mere possession of a copy of DeCSS, the free program
+to decrypt video on a DVD, is a crime.</p>
+
+<p>
+In 2001, Disney-funded Senator Hollings proposed a bill called the
+SSSCA that would require every new computer to have mandatory
+copy-restriction facilities that the user cannot bypass.  Following
+the Clipper chip and similar US government key-escrow proposals, this
+shows a long-term trend: computer systems are increasingly set up to
+give absentees with clout control over the people actually using the
+computer system.  The SSSCA was later renamed to the unpronounceable
+CBDTPA, which was glossed as the &ldquo;Consume But Don't Try
+Programming Act&rdquo;.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Republicans took control of the US senate shortly thereafter.
+They are less tied to Hollywood than the Democrats, so they did not
+press these proposals.  Now that the Democrats are back in control,
+the danger is once again higher.</p>
+
+<p>
+In 2001 the US began attempting to use the proposed Free Trade Area of
+the Americas (FTAA) treaty to impose the same rules on all the countries in
+the Western Hemisphere.  The FTAA is one of the so-called free
+trade treaties, which are actually designed to give business
+increased power over democratic governments; imposing laws like the
+DMCA is typical of this spirit.  The FTAA was effectively killed by
+Lula, President of Brazil, who rejected the DMCA requirement and
+others.</p>
+
+<p>
+Since then, the US has imposed similar requirements on countries such
+as Australia and Mexico through bilateral &ldquo;free trade&rdquo;
+agreements, and on countries such as Costa Rica through another
+treaty, CAFTA.  Ecuador's President Correa refused to sign a
+&ldquo;free trade&rdquo; agreement with the US, but I've heard Ecuador
+had adopted something like the DMCA in 2003.</p>
+
+<p>
+One of the ideas in the story was not proposed in reality until 2002.
+This is the idea that the <abbr>FBI</abbr> and Microsoft will keep the
+root passwords for your personal computers, and not let you have
+them.</p>
+
+<p>
+The proponents of this scheme have given it names such as
+&ldquo;trusted computing&rdquo; and &ldquo;Palladium&rdquo;.  We call
+it <a href="/philosophy/can-you-trust.html">&ldquo;treacherous
+computing&rdquo;</a> because the effect is to make your computer obey
+companies even to the extent of disobeying and defying you.  This was
+implemented in 2007 as part of <a href="http://badvista.org/";>Windows
+Vista</a>; we expect Apple to do something similar.  In this scheme,
+it is the manufacturer that keeps the secret code, but
+the <abbr>FBI</abbr> would have little trouble getting it.</p>
+
+<p>
+What Microsoft keeps is not exactly a password in the traditional
+sense; no person ever types it on a terminal.  Rather, it is a
+signature and encryption key that corresponds to a second key stored
+in your computer.  This enables Microsoft, and potentially any web
+sites that cooperate with Microsoft, the ultimate control over what
+the user can do on his own computer.</p>
+
+<p>
+Vista also gives Microsoft additional powers; for instance, Microsoft
+can forcibly install upgrades, and it can order all machines running
+Vista to refuse to run a certain device driver.  The main purpose of
+Vista's many restrictions is to impose DRM (Digital Restrictions
+Management) that users can't overcome.  The threat of DRM is why we
+have established the <a href="http://DefectiveByDesign.org";>
+Defective by Design</a> campaign.</p>
+
+<p>
+When this story was first written, the SPA was threatening small
+Internet service providers, demanding they permit the SPA to monitor
+all users.  Most ISPs surrendered when threatened, because they cannot
+afford to fight back in court.  One ISP, Community ConneXion in
+Oakland, California, refused the demand and was actually sued.  The
+SPA later dropped the suit, but obtained the DMCA, which gave them the
+power they sought.</p>
+
+<p>
+The SPA, which actually stands for Software Publishers Association,
+has been replaced in its police-like role by the Business
+Software Alliance.  The BSA is not, today, an official police force;
+unofficially, it acts like one.  Using methods reminiscent of the
+erstwhile Soviet Union, it invites people to inform on their coworkers
+and friends.  A BSA terror campaign in Argentina in 2001 made
+slightly veiled threats that people sharing software would be raped.</p>
+
+<p>
+The university security policies described above are not imaginary.
+For example, a computer at one Chicago-area university displayed this
+message upon login:</p>
+
+<blockquote><p>
+This system is for the use of authorized users only.  Individuals using
+this computer system without authority or in the excess of their authority
+are subject to having all their activities on this system monitored and
+recorded by system personnel.  In the course of monitoring individuals
+improperly using this system or in the course of system maintenance, the
+activities of authorized user may also be monitored.  Anyone using this
+system expressly consents to such monitoring and is advised that if such
+monitoring reveals possible evidence of illegal activity or violation of
+University regulations system personnel may provide the evidence of such
+monitoring to University authorities and/or law enforcement officials.
+</p></blockquote>
+
+<p>
+This is an interesting approach to the Fourth Amendment: pressure most
+everyone to agree, in advance, to waive their rights under it.</p>

+The battle for the right to read is already in progress,
+The enemy is organized, while we are not, so it is going against us.
+Here are articles about bad things that have happened since the
+original publication of this article.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Today's commercial ebooks <a href="/philosophy/the-danger-of-ebooks.html">
+     abolish readers' traditional freedoms.</a></li>
+<li><a href="http://www.nature.com/nature_education/biology.html";>
+     A "biology textbook" web site</a> that you can access only by signing
+     a <a href="http://www.nature.com/principles/viewTermsOfUse";>
+     contract not to lend it to anyone else</a>, which the publisher can
+     revoke at will.</li>

+</ul>
+
+<p>If we want to stop the bad news and create some good news, we need
+to organize and fight.  The
+FSF's <a href="http://defectivebydesign.org";> Defective by Design</a>
+campaign has made a start &mdash; subscribe to the campaign's mailing
