Lisa Petrides (ISKME.org) interviews Matthias Kirschner, president of the Free Software Foundation Europe. He started using GNU/Linux in 1999 and joined FSFE in 2004 while studying political and administrative science.
The conversation is about why software freedom matters to people who don't write code: the urge to tinker, share and collaborate, and how the rights to use, understand, adapt and share software support free speech, a free press and privacy.
