Eben on Software Ecology

http://opendotdotdot.blogspot.com

And, in particular, you become interested in conservation and equality. You want the fish to remain in the sea and you don't want anybody else overfishing.

http://www.gnu.org

"After that introduction, I am sure many of you want to know about Free Software. But unfortunately that's not what I am supposed to speak about.
