+Many 
+&lt;a href="/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html"&gt;GNU/Linux&lt;/a&gt;
+users think of the system as competition for Microsoft.
+But the Free Software Movement aims to solve a problem that is much
+bigger than Microsoft: proprietary, <span 
class="removed"><del><strong>non-free</strong></del></span> <span 
class="inserted"><ins><em>nonfree</em></ins></span> software, designed to
+keep users helpless and prohibit cooperation.  Microsoft is the
+largest developer of such software, but many other companies treat the
+users' freedom just as badly; if they have not shackled as many users
+as Microsoft, it is not for lack of trying.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+Since Microsoft is just a part of the problem, its defeat in the
+anti-trust lawsuit is not necessarily a victory for free software.
+Whether the outcome of this suit helps free software and promotes
+users' freedom depends of the specific remedies imposed on Microsoft
+by the judge.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+If the remedies are designed to enable other companies compete in

class="removed"><del><strong>non-free</strong></del></span> <span 
class="inserted"><ins><em>nonfree</em></ins></span> software, that will do the 
Free World
+no particular good.  Alternative possible masters is not freedom.  And
+competition could lead them to do a &ldquo;better&rdquo; job, better
+in a narrow technical sense; then it could be harder for us to
+&ldquo;compete&rdquo; with them technically.  We will continue to
+offer the user one thing those companies do
+not&mdash;freedom&mdash;and users who value freedom will continue to
+choose free software for that reason.  But users who do not value
+freedom, and choose a system based on mere convenience, might be
+enticed away to &ldquo;improved&rdquo; proprietary systems.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+Splitting Microsoft into separate companies could also endanger free
+software, because these smaller companies, no longer held in check by
+the public readiness to condemn Microsoft, might see fit to attack
+free software more harshly than the present unified Microsoft does.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+I've 
+&lt;a href="/philosophy/microsoft-antitrust.html"&gt;proposed 
remedies&lt;/a&gt;
+for this case that would help free software compete with Microsoft:
+for example, requiring Microsoft to publish documentation for all
+interfaces, and to use patents only for defense, not for aggression.
+These remedies would block the use of the weapons that Microsoft plans
+to use against us (according to the &ldquo;Halloween documents&rdquo;
+leaked from within Microsoft which spelled out how they plan to impede
+development of the GNU/Linux system).&lt;/p&gt;

+Many 
+&lt;a href="/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html"&gt;GNU/Linux&lt;/a&gt;
+users think of the system as competition for Microsoft.
+But the Free Software Movement aims to solve a problem that is much
+bigger than Microsoft: proprietary, <span 
class="removed"><del><strong>non-free</strong></del></span> <span 
class="inserted"><ins><em>nonfree</em></ins></span> software, designed to
+keep users helpless and prohibit cooperation.  Microsoft is the
+largest developer of such software, but many other companies treat the
+users' freedom just as badly; if they have not shackled as many users
+as Microsoft, it is not for lack of trying.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+Since Microsoft is just a part of the problem, its defeat in the
+anti-trust lawsuit is not necessarily a victory for free software.
+Whether the outcome of this suit helps free software and promotes
+users' freedom depends of the specific remedies imposed on Microsoft
+by the judge.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+If the remedies are designed to enable other companies compete in
+offering proprietary, <span 
class="removed"><del><strong>non-free</strong></del></span> <span 
class="inserted"><ins><em>nonfree</em></ins></span> software, that will do the 
Free World
+no particular good.  Alternative possible masters is not freedom.  And
+competition could lead them to do a &ldquo;better&rdquo; job, better
+in a narrow technical sense; then it could be harder for us to
+&ldquo;compete&rdquo; with them technically.  We will continue to
+offer the user one thing those companies do
+not&mdash;freedom&mdash;and users who value freedom will continue to
+choose free software for that reason.  But users who do not value
+freedom, and choose a system based on mere convenience, might be
+enticed away to &ldquo;improved&rdquo; proprietary systems.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+Splitting Microsoft into separate companies could also endanger free
+software, because these smaller companies, no longer held in check by
+the public readiness to condemn Microsoft, might see fit to attack
+free software more harshly than the present unified Microsoft does.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+I've 
+&lt;a href="/philosophy/microsoft-antitrust.html"&gt;proposed 
remedies&lt;/a&gt;
+for this case that would help free software compete with Microsoft:
+for example, requiring Microsoft to publish documentation for all
+interfaces, and to use patents only for defense, not for aggression.
+These remedies would block the use of the weapons that Microsoft plans
+to use against us (according to the &ldquo;Halloween documents&rdquo;
+leaked from within Microsoft which spelled out how they plan to impede
+development of the GNU/Linux system).&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+When we see what remedies the judge chooses, we will get an idea of
+whether the case has been helpful or harmful to the Free Software
+Movement.&lt;/p&gt;

+
+&lt;div class="announcement"&gt;
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This article originally appeared in The Guardian
+&mdash; March 3, 2005&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+&lt;/div&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;by &lt;a href="http://www.stallman.org/"&gt;Richard 
Stallman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+The UK government has funded the development of software useful for
+e-government, and now doesn't know what to do with it. Someone had the
+bright idea to hand it over to local councils, inviting them to turn
+themselves into software companies.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+The public have already paid to develop this software. Isn't it absurd
+to make them pay, now, for permission to use it? Isn't it absurd to
+restrict what they can do with it? Alas, such absurdity is not
+unusual; it is standard practice for governments to deliver publicly
+funded software into private hands, to companies that make the public
+&mdash; and even the government &mdash; beg for permission to use it
+afterwards.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+Even worse, they impose frustrating restrictions on the users, denying
+them access to the software's source code, the plans that a programmer
+can read and understand and change. All the users get is an
+executable, a &ldquo;black box&rdquo;, so that they cannot adapt it,
+understand it or even verify what it does.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+There is a sensible motive for this senseless policy. The motive is to
+make sure that someone cares for the software, fixing the problems
+that inevitably appear and adapting it to new needs. People used to
+believe that having some company control all use of the software, and
+keep all users under its thumb, was the only way to do this.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+Today, we know another way: free software (also known as open source
+or Foss). Free software means the users are free to use this software,
+redistribute it, study it, or even extend it to do more jobs.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+The word &ldquo;free&rdquo; refers to freedom, not price; think
+&ldquo;free speech&rdquo;, not &ldquo;free beer&rdquo;. When there are
+users that value support and are willing to pay for it, free software
+means a free market for support, instead of a monopoly. Free software
+also offers government agencies a way to fulfil their responsibility
+to maintain sovereign control over the state's computers, and not let
+that control fall into private hands.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+Since 1984, groups of volunteers have developed and maintained
+powerful and useful free programs &mdash; a few at first, then entire
+operating systems such as GNU/Linux and BSD. Today,
+the &lt;a href="/directory"&gt;Free Software Directory&lt;/a&gt; lists almost
+4,000 free software packages. The UK government has already decided to
+increase its use of free software; here is a perfect opportunity to
+both use it and contribute.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister should make the e-government
+programs free software, set up a site to host their development, and
+hire a handful of people to oversee the work. Then governments around
+the world will begin to use this software, fix it, extend it, and
+contribute the improvements back.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+The whole world will benefit, and all the users will admire Britain's
+leadership.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+-- Richard Stallman launched the GNU operating system (www.gnu.org) in
+   1984 and founded the Free Software Foundation (fsf.org) in 1985.

+&lt;h2&gt;The Free Software Movement and UDI&lt;/h2&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+A project called UDI (Uniform Driver Interface) aims to define a
+single interface between operating system kernels and device drivers.
+What should the free software movement make of this idea?&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+If we imagine a number of operating systems and hardware developers,
+all cooperating on an equal footing, UDI (if technically feasible)
+would be a very good idea.  It would permit us to develop just one
+driver for any given hardware device, and then all share it.  It would
+enable a higher level of cooperation.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+When we apply the idea to the actual world, which contains both free
+software developers seeking cooperation, and proprietary software
+developers seeking domination, the consequences are very different.
+No way of using UDI can benefit the free software movement.  If it
+does anything, it will divide and weaken us.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+If Linux supported UDI, and if we started designing new drivers to
+communicate with Linux through UDI, what would the consequences be?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt; People could run free GPL-covered Linux drivers with Windows 
systems.
+&lt;p&gt;
+This would help only Windows users; it would do nothing for us users
+of free operating systems.  It would not directly hurt us, either; but
+the developers of GPL-covered free drivers could be discouraged to see
+them used in this way, and that would be very bad.  It can also be a
+violation of the GNU GPL to link the drivers into a proprietary
+kernel.  To increase the temptation to do so is asking for 
trouble.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt; People could run <span 
class="removed"><del><strong>non-free</strong></del></span> <span 
class="inserted"><ins><em>nonfree</em></ins></span> Windows drivers
+on &lt;a href="/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html"&gt;GNU/Linux&lt;/a&gt; systems.
+&lt;p&gt;
+This would not directly affect the range of hardware supported by free
+software.  But indirectly it would tend to decrease the range, by
+offering a temptation to the millions of GNU/Linux users who have not
+learned to insist on freedom for its own sake.  To the extent that the
+community began to accept the temptation, we would be moving to using
+<span class="removed"><del><strong>non-free</strong></del></span>
+<span class="inserted"><ins><em>nonfree</em></ins></span> drivers instead of 
writing free ones.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+UDI would not in itself obstruct development of free drivers.  So if
+enough of us rejected the temptation, we could still develop free
+drivers despite UDI, just as we do without UDI.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+But why encourage the community to be weaker than it needs to be?  Why
+make unnecessary difficulties for the future of free software?  Since
+UDI does no good for us, it is better to reject UDI.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+Given these consequences, it is no surprise that Intel, a supporter of
+UDI, has started to &ldquo;look to the Linux community for help with
+UDI.&rdquo; How does a rich and self-seeking company approach a
+cooperating community?  By asking for a handout, of course.  They have
+nothing to lose by asking, and we might be caught off guard and say
+yes.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+Cooperation with UDI is not out of the question.  We should not label
+UDI, Intel, or anyone, as a Great Satan.  But before we participate in
+any proposed deal, we must judge it carefully, to make sure it is
+advantageous for the free software community, not just for proprietary
+system developers.  On this particular issue, that means requiring
+that cooperation take us a step further along a path that leads to the
+ultimate goal for free kernels and drivers: supporting &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt;
+important hardware with free drivers.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+One way to make a deal a good one could be by modifying the UDI
+project itself.  Eric Raymond has proposed that UDI compliance could
+require that the driver be free software.  That would be ideal, but
+other alternatives could also work.  Just requiring source for the
+driver to be published, and not a trade secret, could do the
+job&mdash;because even if that driver is not free, it would at least
+tell us what we need to know to write a free driver.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+Intel could also do something outside of UDI to help the free software
+community solve this problem.  For example, there may be some sort of
+certification that hardware developers seek, that Intel plays a role
+in granting.  If so, Intel could agree to make certification more
+difficult if the hardware specs are secret.  That might not be a
+complete solution to the problem, but it could help quite a bit.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+One difficulty with any deal with Intel about UDI is that we would do
+our part for Intel at the beginning, but Intel's payback would extend
+over a long time.  In effect, we would be extending credit to Intel.
+But would Intel continue to repay its loan?  Probably yes, if we get
+it in writing and there are no loopholes; otherwise, we can't count on
+it.  Corporations are notoriously untrustworthy; the people we are
+dealing with may have integrity, but they could be overruled from
+above, or even replaced at any time with different people.  Even a CEO
+who owns most of the stock can be replaced through a buy-out.  When
+making a deal with a corporation, always get a binding commitment in
+writing.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+It does not seem likely that Intel would offer a deal that gives us
+what we need.  In fact, UDI seems designed to make it easier to keep
+specifications secret.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+Still, there is no harm in keeping the door unlocked, as long as we
+are careful about who we let in.&lt;/p&gt;
