Post-publication note: this is an April fools post. None of it is true. Well, except the part about Apple actually mistreating users, attacking competing firms and barring GPL-protected software from their app store.

I was invited to Australia so as to speak at the Builder conference, which was canceled shortly before I got there (but they had already bought my tickets). This did not mean the visit was wasted, since I had arranged 9 other speeches. The Australian Senate had attached some conditions to the US-Australia Free Trade Agreement, and it looked like the US might reject the treaty as a result, which would give Australia a second chance to escape. I arranged to give several speeches about the danger of software patents.

At its core, I think of free software as about the ability of computer
users to take control of their technology. Insofar as our software
defines our experience of the world and each other, software freedom is
an important part of what allows us to determine the way we live, work,
and communicate.

L’essence du logiciel libre est selon moi de permettre aux utilisateurs de micro-informatique d’être maître de leur machine et de leurs données. Dans la mesure où nos logiciels définissent notre rapport au monde et aux autres, la liberté logicielle est une part importante de ce qui nous permet de déterminer notre façon de vivre, de travailler et de communiquer.

The Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments in a case that could give the free software community (and software developers everywhere) a huge win in the fight against software patents. Free Software Foundation executive director Peter Brown was on the scene, and reflects on the Bilski case, the oral arguments, and the desperate need for change.
