We have partial freedom today, but our freedom is not secure. It is threatened by the CBDTPA (formerly SSSCA ), by the Broadcast &ldquo;Protection&rdquo; Discussion Group (see http://www.eff.org/) which proposes to prohibit free software to access digital TV broadcasts, by software patents (Europe is now considering whether to have software patents), by Microsoft nondisclosure agreements for vital protocols, and by everyone who tempts us with a non-free program that is &ldquo;better&rdquo; (technically) than available free programs. We can lose our freedom again just as we lost it the first time, if we don't care enough to protect it.
