Free Software and Democratic Decision-making
Democratic Decision making is one example of social networking
that is close to my own experience.
- Is a government system fair if it is
opaque?
Free Software is transparent software.
- Is a government fair if it is inflexible
(unamendable)?
Free Software is modifiable and flexible.
- Is fairness possible with a copyright
constitution? A patented form of government
methods?
Tight individualized control over copyright prevents others
from using social networking software. Software patents limit
the types of actions that others can take place in.
