Like preaching the water and drinking the wine. Or, from another prospective: iron-ring from wood. In another time at another place it was called dialectical materialism.

NEASIS Symposium: 6 December 1999

Open Source and Free Systems/Software: Implications for Libraries
<http://www.asis.org/Chapters/neasis/>http://www.asis.org/Chapters/neasis/

Monday, December 6, 1999
Yale University, Luce Hall Auditorium
9:15 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.

The idea behind a free approach to software development not bound by source code patents nor by intellectual property rights is twenty-plus years strong. Newly inspired by the web's progressive, yet often challenged, openly free environment, open and free source software products have already made inroads into the library market. As the philosophy of this movement and the principles of free information within libraries are a nearly perfect match, interest and applicability are increasing. Join us in a discussion of these ideas and of their validity in libraries.

Speakers:

Daniel Chudnov
Co-founder of OSS4LIB

Eric Raymond
Author, The Cathedral And The Bazaar

Richard Stallman
Founder of the GNU Project
