+"During my career in programming, as computers developed from something used "
+"by a few specialists and enthusiasts into something that most people use, "
+"there has been tremendous technical progress and it was accompanied by "

+"The developer of the program controls what it does.  If you use it, the "
+"developer controls what you can do, and what you can't do. And controls what "

+"Google designs software specifically to restrict the user.  That's the "

+"And therefore free software cannot be designed to restrict the users.  To "

+"someone has power to control what the program will do and what it won't do.  "
+"When the users have the control, when they can control their own computing, "
+"then nobody has the kind of power that would enable him to impose malicious "
+"features to restrict users or spy on users or attack users.  If you use "
+"MacOS or Windows Vista, you are completely at the mercy of that system's "
+"developer.  Those developers have the power to forcibly change your software "
+"in any way they like, whenever the machine is connected to the network.  The "

+"But with free software, <em>you</em> are in charge of what the computer will "

+"freedom and democracy is now essential to enjoy freedom and democracy in "
+"other aspects of life.  Right now, some of the biggest Internet service "
+"providers in the United States are carrying out political censorship of "
+"email.  A major organization called <cite>truthout</cite>, whose website you "
+"may have seen, truthout.org, is being blocked from sending mail to their "

+"Not everyone wants to be a programmer, not everyone will learn personally "

+"change it for you.  You can persuade your cousin programmer to change it for "
+"you if you say it's really important.  You can join together with other "
+"users and pool your funds to hire a programmer.  And the simple fact that "
+"there are millions of programmers who can study and change the software will "
+"mean that if the software is malicious, almost certainly somebody else, who "
+"has the requisite skills, will find that and correct it, and you will get "
+"the corrected version without any special effort of your own.  So we all "
+"benefit, programmers and non-programmers alike, from the freedoms that free "
+"software grants to us.  The freedom to cooperate and the freedom to control "
+"our own lives personally.  They go together because both of them are the "
+"opposite of being under the power of the dictatorial software developer that "

+"Free software has a special connection with universities&mdash;and indeed "

+"The source code and the methods of free software are part of human "
+"knowledge.  The mission of every school is to disseminate human knowledge.  "
+"Proprietary software is not part of human knowledge. It's secret, restricted "
+"knowledge which schools are not allowed to disseminate.  Schools that "
+"recognize this exclude proprietary software from their grounds.  And this is "
+"what every school should do.  Not only to save money, which is an obvious "
+"advantage that will appeal immediately to many school administrators, but "
+"for ethical reasons as well.  For instance, why do many proprietary software "
+"developers offer discounts, or even gratis copies of their nonfree software "
+"to schools and students?"
+msgstr ""
+
+#. type: Content of: <div><p>
+msgid ""
+"I'm told that Microsoft offered a discount to those who wish to accept the "
+"shiny new chains of Windows Vista to the employees of this university.  Why "
+"would they do such a thing? Is it because they wish to contribute to "
+"education? Obviously not.  Rather, Microsoft and other similar companies "
+"wish to convert the university into an instrument for imposing the "
+"dependency on the user-subjugating software on society as a whole.  They "
+"figured that if they get their software into schools, then students will "
+"learn to use it, and become dependent on it.  They will develop a "
+"dependency.  And thus after they graduate you can be sure that Microsoft and "
+"these other companies would no longer offer them discounted copies.  And "
+"especially, the companies that these former students go to work for will not "
+"be offered discounted copies.  So, the software developers push on the "
+"schools, then push on arresting society and push it deep into a pit.  This "
+"is not something schools should do.  This is the opposite of the mission of "
+"the school, which is to build a strong, capable, independent and free "
+"society.  Schools should teach their students to be citizens of a strong, "
+"capable, independent and free society.  And this means teaching them to use "
+"free software, not proprietary software.  So none of the classes in this "
+"university should teach proprietary software."
+msgstr ""

+#. type: Content of: <div><p>
+msgid ""
+"For those who will be great programmers, there is another reason why their "
+"schools must teach and use free software.  Because when they get to the age "
+"of 13 or so, they are fascinated with software and they want to learn "
+"everything about how their computer and their system are functioning.  So "
+"they will ask the teacher, &ldquo;How does this work?,&rdquo; and if this is "
+"proprietary software, the teacher has to say, &ldquo;I'm sorry, it's a "
+"secret, you can't find out.&rdquo; So there is no room for education.  But "
+"if it's free software, the teacher can explain the basic subject and then "
+"say, &ldquo;Here is the source code, read this and you'll understand "
+"everything.&rdquo; And those programmers will read the whole source code "
+"because they are fascinated, and this way they will learn something very "
+"important: how to write software well.  They don't need to be taught how to "
+"program, because for them programming is obvious, but writing good code is a "
+"different story.  You have to learn that by reading lots of code and writing "
+"lots of code.  Only free software provides that opportunity."
+msgstr ""
+
+#. type: Content of: <div><p>
+msgid ""
+"But there is a particular reason, for the sake of education in good "
+"citizenship.  You see, schools must teach not just facts, not just skills, "
+"but above all the spirit of good will, the habit of helping your neighbor.  "
+"So every class, at every level, should have this rule: &ldquo;Students, if "
+"you bring software to class, you may not keep it for yourself, you must "
+"share copies with the rest of the class.&rdquo;"
+msgstr ""
+
+#. type: Content of: <div><p>

+"However, the school has to practice its own rule; it has to set a good "
+"example.  So every school should bring only free software to class, and set "
+"an example with its software of the practice of disseminating human "
+"knowledge while building a strong, capable, independent and free society.  "
+"And encouraging the spirit of good will, of helping other people.  Every "
+"school must migrate to free software, and I call on you, those of you who "
+"are faculty, or staff, or students of this university, to work together to "
+"bring about the migration of this university to free software, completely to "
+"free software, within a few years.  It <em>can</em> be done in a few years; "
+"it requires taking a substantial step each year.  Other universities are "
+"doing this or have done it, you can do it too.  You only have to reject "
+"social inertia as a valid reason for going deeper and deeper into the pit."
