Freedom Socks, free from the ground up!! A podcast about GNU/Linux and free software in general. In this sixth sockload of freedom, we decide last weeks episode never happened, turn into GNU/Freedom nutters, go over the news, unleash even more hate than usual.

We’re Freedom Socks! a podcast (availible as ogg varbis and mp3) all about free software and GNU/Linux in particular. And, after another random “season break”, we’re back. This week we run over whats been in the freedom news recently, get all angry about normal people, do an interview with one of our own hosts about the AGPLmail project.

Freedom Socks is a podcast (availible as ogg varbis and mp3) all about free software and GNU/Linux in particular.

So, we’re back after our little break, with better sound quality. We sink our teeth right into the latest and greatest news, including the amazing news from SGI. Then, we send a shipment of hate to the evil DRM fiends at Spore, review TuxGuitar and cleverly discuss the links between Science and free software. Finally, we wrap up the show with some listener feedback.

This week is going to be a little different - the show is longer for a start. We cover this weeks news and express our anger in the Two Minutes Hate as usual, but we also have an interview with Matt Lee from the FSF, mainly about the the recent Stephen Fry video. Remember, you can discuss the show on IRC, the forum or email us feedback.

Audiopodcast of Episode 0x27: Talking about Software Freedom -- Karen and Bradley discuss their views on software freedom advocacy.

What is this freedom that we are talking about?

It is the freedom to live our lives to its fullest without harming anybody else and without violating any of our accepted social norms. There are several areas of life where we invoke this freedom. We are primarily concerned with three different areas - Software Freedom, Freedom from Social Evils, Freedom to live our future.
