- Preface to the Second Edition
- </h1>
- <p>
- The second edition of
- <cite>
- Free Software, Free Society
- </cite>
- holds updated
-versions of most of the essays from the first edition, as well as many
-new essays published since the first edition.
- </p>
- <p>
- The essays about software patents are now in one section and those
-about copyright in another, to set an example of not grouping together
-these two laws, whose workings and effects on software are totally
-different.
- </p>
- <p>
- Another section presents the GNU licenses, with a new introduction
-written with Brett Smith giving their history and the motives for each
-of them. One of the essays explains why software projects should
-upgrade to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
- </p>
- <p>
- There is now a section on issues of terminology, since the way we
-describe an issue affects how people think about it.
- </p>
- <p>
- The last two sections describe some of the traps free software
-developers and users face—new ways to lose your freedom, and how to
-avoid them.
- </p>
- <p>
- We have also added an index, to complement the appendix on software.
- </p>
- <p>
- We would like to thank Jeanne Rasata for managing the project, editing
-the book, formatting the text, and creating the index. Thanks also to
-Karl Berry for technical assistance with Texinfo, Brett Smith for all
-other technical help and for valuable feedback, and Rob Myers for
-formatting the cover.
