This book explores software's pivotal role as the code that powers
computers, mobile devices, the Internet, and social media. Creating
conditions for the ongoing development and use of software,
including the Internet as a communications infrastructure, is one
of the most compelling issues of our time. Free software is based
upon open source code, developed in peer communities as well as
corporate settings, challenging the dominance of proprietary
software firms and promoting the digital commons. Drawing upon key
cases and interviews with free software proponents based in Europe,
Brazil and the U.S., the book explores pathways toward creating the
digital commons and examines contemporary political struggles over
free software, privacy and civil liberties on the Internet that are
vital for the commons' continued development.
