Free licensing of trademarks. A tool to expand the scope of free licenses to a wider scope of works. Including physical objects.

Presented by: Julian Daich

Julian Daich has a background in biophysics with experience developing biomedical technology in academic and industrial environments. He has been working during the last years at LINDS, a 501(c)(3) non profit, in the developing of biomedical technology to be released under free licenses.

Description:

Trademarks provide a proprietary association of goods with an image or rhetoric. The free licensing of trademarks enables the identification of free works with free trademarks and the inclusion of proprietary trademarks only under the developers' permission. This conditional permission allows revenue channels for developers as well as the establishment of quality stamps.

LibrePlanet is the Free Software Foundation's annual conference. The FSF campaigns for free/libre software, meaning it respects users' freedom and community. We believe that users are entitled to this; all software should be free.

We do not advocate "open source".

That term was coined to reject our views. It refers to similar practices, but usually presented solely as advantageous, without talking of right and wrong.

Richard Stallman launched the free software movement in 1983 by announcing development of the free operating system, GNU. By 1992, GNU was nearly operational; one major essential component was lacking, the kernel.

In 1992, Torvalds freed the kernel Linux, which filled the last gap in GNU. Since then, the combined GNU/Linux system has run in millions of computers. Nowadays you can buy a new computer with a totally free GNU/Linux system preinstalled.

The views of the speaker may not represent the Free Software Foundation. The Foundation supports the free software cause and freedom to share, and basic freedoms in the digital domain, but has no position on other political issues.
