商品描述
This book explores software's pivotal role as the code that powers computers, mobile devices, the Internet, and social media. Creating conditions for the ongoing development and use of software, including the Internet as a communications infrastructure, is one of the most compelling issues of our time. Free software is based upon open source code, developed in peer communities as well as corporate settings, challenging the dominance of proprietary software firms and promoting the digital commons. Drawing upon key cases and interviews with free software proponents based in Europe, Brazil and the U.S., the book explores pathways toward creating the digital commons and examines contemporary political struggles over free software, privacy and civil liberties on the Internet that are vital for the commons' continued development.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書探討了軟體在驅動電腦、行動裝置、互聯網和社交媒體方面的關鍵角色。創造持續發展和使用軟體的條件,包括將互聯網作為通訊基礎設施,是當今最引人注目的議題之一。自由軟體基於開源代碼,在同行社群和企業環境中開發,挑戰專有軟體公司的主導地位,並促進數位公共資源的發展。書中引用了來自歐洲、巴西和美國的自由軟體倡導者的關鍵案例和訪談,探討創造數位公共資源的途徑,並檢視當前在自由軟體、隱私和互聯網上公民自由的政治鬥爭,這些對於公共資源的持續發展至關重要。
