La Liberté guidant le code : une histoire du logiciel libre

Computer science and the Internet enable, by nature, the free circulation of information and its free processing.

Yet, this freedom is by no means self-evident in practice. What is freedom in our uses of computing? What does it consist of and how was it won where it exists? In the answers to these questions also lies the future of our technologies.

This presentation recounts the history of free software (and the open source movement); from the ethics of early hackers to the operation of modern phones and computers, through copyright laws.
