+ Preface to the Second Edition +

+

+ The second edition of + + Free Software, Free Society + + holds updated +versions of most of the essays from the first edition, as well as many +new essays published since the first edition. +

+

+ 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. +

+

+ 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. +

+

+ There is now a section on issues of terminology, since the way we +describe an issue affects how people think about it. +

+

+ 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. +

+

+ We have also added an index, to complement the appendix on software. +

+

+ 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. +
