This book explores the relationship between the free software movement and freedom. Focusing on five main themes-the emancipatory potential of technology, social liberties, the facilitation of creativity, the objectivity of computing as a scientific practice, and the role of software in a cyborg world-the authors ask, what are the freedoms of free software, and how are they manifested?
