To respect computer users' freedom to operate their computers, states should not allow patents to apply to software or (more generally) using computers in particular ways. States should mandate their own use of freely implementable, publicly documented formats for all communication with the public, and should lead the private sector also to use only these formats. To make copyright acceptable in the network age, noncommercial copying and sharing of published works should be legal. Commercial use of DRM should be prohibited, and independently developed free software to access DRM formats should be lawful.
