This talk is titled "The media ecology of source code access," and will be presented by Clinton Ignatov.

Clinton is a user of free software for nearly 20 years. Since then, he has developed a strong interest in understanding the social impact of proprietary software through my deep readings of the work of Marshall McLuhan.

This talk centers around a proposal that the history of the GNU General Public License, the GNU Project, and the Free Software Foundation are ripe for integration into a study of the arts and humanities.
