Should software be free or not free? ? Discussion from the following publications: ? Proprietary Rights In Computer Software: Individual And Policy Issues (Johnson) ? Why software should be free (Stallman) ? ACTA Course: Technology, Research and Ethics Group 3: Benny, Tao, Ruth

why software is not free O Software is not easy to create. In fact, It’s a whole heck of a lot of work, and takes somewhere between months and years. (Software teams are constantly working on improving and updating the software to keep up with changing technologies. It’s a continuous process.) O (It costs money to put out a software product. We have to spend years creating it, paying people’s salaries, renting office space, purchasing computers, etc. If we want you to actually find out about our product, we often need to spend money to advertise as well.) O (People who make software have more to do once your purchase has been made. We are here for you when you run into issues by providing a support team to answer questions, walk you through troubleshooting steps, fix bugs, etc.)

why software is not free O We do our best to price software affordably. Just like a sandwich shop owner figures out how much to charge for a sandwich based on the price that adequately covers the cost of ingredients, running the store, and paying their employees. Most of us price our software as reasonably as possible.

why software is not free O Software is created by hard working people… like you. Do you get paid for your work? O You pay for your clothes, gadgets, your movie tickets, your lunch, your plane ticket, etc. So why not your software?

why software is not free O Hopefully after knowing this, you understand that software does not create itself. It’s made by hard working people just like you. O We often work in small teams and we put a lot of time thought, money, and effort into creating it for you. O It’s our technological work of art. We’re not perfect, but we do our best.

Why software should be free! …programmers have the duty to encourage others to share, redistribute, study, and improve the software we write: in other words, to write “free” software (R. Stallman)

Why software should be free! O The Harm Done by Obstructing Software O Fewer people use the program. O None of the users can adapt or fix the program. O Other developers cannot learn from the program, or base new work on it.

Proprietary rights in computer software O Illegal copying harms the owner financially O It harms the owners legal rights O This harm is greater than the good of copying O Casual copying and a plea by Nissenbaum O Free software and an argument to not copy
