+**************************
+
+Interviews and speeches about your package are an important channel for
+informing the public about the GNU system and the ideas of the free
+software movement. Please avoid saying "open source" and avoid calling
+the GNU system "Linux", just as you would in the package itself (*note
+Terminology::). Likewise, avoid promoting nonfree programs (*note
+(standards)References::) as you would in the package itself.
+
+ Many GNU users have erroneous ideas about GNU. Outside of our
+community, most people think it is Linux. Please use your opportunity
+to set them straight. Start the presentation with the answers to these
+basic questions:
+
+ * What GNU is (an operating system developed to be Unix-like and

+<h2 class="chapter">15 Interviews and Speeches</h2>
+
+<p>Interviews and speeches about your package are an important channel
+for informing the public about the GNU system and the ideas of the
+free software movement. Please avoid saying “open source” and
avoid
+calling the GNU system “Linux”, just as you would in the package
+itself (see <a href="Terminology.html#Terminology">Terminology</a>).
Likewise, avoid promoting nonfree
+programs (see <a
href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/References.html#References";>References</a>
in <cite>GNU Coding
+Standards</cite>) as you would in the package itself.
+</p>
+<p>Many GNU users have erroneous ideas about GNU. Outside of our
+community, most people think it is Linux. Please use your opportunity
+to set them straight. Start the presentation with the answers to
+these basic questions:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> What GNU is (an operating system developed to be Unix-like and totally
+free software). It is good to mention <a href="gnu.org">gnu.org</a>.
+
+</li><li> What free software is (the users control it, so it doesn’t
control
+them). It is good to state the four freedoms and/or refer to
+<a href="gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html</a>.
+
+</li><li> What GNU/Linux is (Linux filled the last gap in GNU). It is useful
to
+refer to <a
href="gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html">gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html</a>.
+
+</li><li> What the GNU Project is (the project to develop GNU).
+
+</li><li> How your package fits in (it’s part of GNU, and the work is
part of
+the GNU Project).
+</li></ul>
+
+<p>If you feel a social pressure not to say these things, you may be
+coming in contact with some who would prefer that these things not be
+said. That’s precisely when we need your support most.
+</p>
+<p>Please don’t include advertisements or plugs for any company, product
+or service. Even if the product would meet the standards for the FSF
+to endorse it, an ad for it is out of place in a presentation about a
+GNU package. Likewise, please don’t include company slogans. Mention
+a company only when called for by the subject matter.
+</p>
+<p>A few GNU packages are actually business activities of a particular
+company. In that case, it is ok to say so at the start. Otherwise,
+please show that this is a project of the GNU Project, and avoid
+suggesting it is any company’s project.
+</p>
+<p>If you are paid by a company to work on the GNU package, it is
+appropriate to thank the company in a discreet way, but please don’t
+go beyond that.
+</p>
+<p>Before you do a speech or interview, please contact the GNU Project
+leadership. We can give you advice on how to deal with various
+eventualities.
+</p>
+<p>When your interviews and speech recordings or transcript are posted,
+please tell us about them. Then we can publicize them.
+</p>
+<p>Please post them in formats that are friendly to free software: not in
+Doc or Docx format, not with Flash, not with QuickTime, not with MP3,
+MPEG2 or MPEG4. Plain text, HTML and PDF are good.
