<p>A working group has been set up in January 7th, 2002 by
|
||||
<a href="http://www.april.org/">APRIL</a> and <a
|
||||
href="http://france.fsfeurope.org/index.en.html">FSF France</a>.
|
||||
The original idea is from Pierre Jarillon (<a
|
||||
href="http://www.abul.org">ABUL</a> president). The objective is to have Free
|
||||
Software classified as an intangible world cultural heritage by the
|
||||
<a href="http://www.unesco.org/">UNESCO</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a href="http://www.april.org/">APRIL</a> has set up a working
|
||||
group to have Free Software classified as an intangible world
|
||||
cultural heritage by <a href="http://www.unesco.org/">UNESCO</a>
|
||||
(from an idea by Pierre Jarillon, President of <a
|
||||
href="http://www.abul.org">ABUL</a>).</p>
|
||||
<p>Why ? First you must understand it would benefit to the Free Software
|
||||
community, but also to mankind as a whole. Free software is not only about
|
||||
computer science, technique or even licenses. It deals with freedom,
|
||||
equality and fraternity. Freedom to copy, to study, to modify and to
|
||||
redistribute software or documentations. Equality, same rights for every
|
||||
user, without discrimination. Fraternity, because we talk about sharing and
|
||||
mutual help. Moreover Free Software is already part of the mankind heritage,
|
||||
in fact. We are trying to obtain a UNESCO recognition. The previous values
|
||||
are common to the Free Software community and the UNESCO.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Why ? This classification of Free Software as an intangible
|
||||
world cultural heritage gives an important weight to Free Software
|
||||
(a world-wide echo, important publicity, recognition and promotion
|
||||
of its philosophy, legal protection by the UNESCO, Anti-FUD
|
||||
arguments, etc). And it is not expensive to try. Freedom
|
||||
has everything to win here.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now let's see what the community could expect from this recognition. First
|
||||
a strong support, because the UNESCO is a major organisation, with an
|
||||
important aura. It could give a major recognition to Free Software, and a
|
||||
very large diffusion. Sort of planetary promotion. Finally, it would also
|
||||
bring legal protection to Free Software (via the UNESCO legal services),
|
||||
against looming <a href="links.en.html">threats</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We'll begin by ethic/philosophical arguments. We previously talked about
|
||||
freedom, equality and fraternity values, about our philosophy which is
|
||||
beneficiary for mankind as a whole. We also add the transparency value,
|
||||
which prevails in our community. Finally you should keep in mind only
|
||||
Free Software can be considered as world heritage. "To serve humanity with
|
||||
software, software should be free, because software belongs to human
|
||||
knowledge. Proprietary software does not belong to human knowledge." (Richard
|
||||
M. Stallman, GNU project founder and <a href="http://www.fsf.org">Free
|
||||
Software Foundation</a> president).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Now, the social arguments. It's a question of mutual help and knowledge
|
||||
sharing. To make tools (and even much more than tools) available for
|
||||
everybody. It seems to meet UNESCO values. Free Software allows a situation
|
||||
where nobody limits others freedom. Nobody forbids you to copy, to use, to
|
||||
modify or to redistribute, nobody chains you up. Let's add Free Software
|
||||
allows a quicker development for developing countries (not only them, it's
|
||||
also true for other countries). They also allow protection of cultures and a
|
||||
better ease of use, due to multilingual support.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Technical arguments? Free Software already proves itself (stability,
|
||||
performances, etc). It's also essential for the computer security domain,
|
||||
because it's the only one which gives transparency and verification, in a
|
||||
domain where there can be no blind confidence in a software editor or an
|
||||
other. Internet would be pretty different from now without Free Software
|
||||
(60% of web servers, large part of email or DNS servers, etc) and the
|
||||
Network would have develop slower without it. Free Software brings
|
||||
continuity: you won't be blocked by an editor death or prisoner in the
|
||||
version run ("sorry N-1 version is no more supported and nothing runs with
|
||||
it, and you'll need to change all your hardware to use N version, whose
|
||||
files are not compatible with N-1 version"). Finally Free Software is about
|
||||
benefit from work already done, not reinventing the wheel, "sitting on
|
||||
giants'shoulders" (one can see further).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And now, the facts: Free Software is already part of the world heritage,
|
||||
as previously said. And it has numerous supports, from governments,
|
||||
associations, firms, and more and more users. Even the UNESCO has a
|
||||
<a href="http://www.unesco.org/webworld/portal_freesoft/">Free Software
|
||||
portal</a> and leads <a
|
||||
href="http://www.unesco.org.uy/informatica/consorcio/index.html">actions in

Latin America</a>.</p>
