Der Jargon von Freiheit: 60 Wörter und Phrasen
24. Juli 2010
Terry Hancock beschreibt/erklärt in seinem Artikel (in en) bei FREE SOFTWARE MAGAZINE den Jargon von »free software«, »shareware«, »demoware«, »adware«, »software freedom«, »copyleft« usw..
What exactly does it mean when Richard Stallman says that the Creative Commons’ Attribution-ShareAlike license has a “Weak Copyleft”? Why exactly is it that “Freeware” and “Non-Free Software” mean the same thing, while “Free Software” is something else entirely? And what is this business with “Free Beer”, and where can I get some? If you’ve asked yourself these questions, this column is for you.
There’s a great deal of jargon surrounding the various cultures and ideas around software freedom. I’m going to take you on a brief tour to try to make some sense out of the language. Each set of terms arises from a particular philosophy and movement of people, so it’ll also be necessary to introduce some of those movements.
