+- Umbrella term for copyright, patent, trademark and other

+- Commonly misused to actually mean anything.
+- Implies claim to ownership, in particular of ideas.

+* Market implications
+- In a free market economy monopolies are ususally dangerous and have

+  - Monopolies on public goods are really, really bad.
+- Software still generates economic value; however, most is generated
+  by use, not sale of software.
+- Software patents are in effect monopolies on ideas.
+  
+* The Four Freedoms
+** Freedom 0
+- You are free to run the program, for any purpose.
+  - Not as obvious as it might seem.
+** Freedom 1
+- You are free to study how the program works, and change it so it
+  does your computing as you wish. Access to the source code is a
+  precondition for this.
+  - The user controls the software, not the other way around.
+** Freedom 2
+- You are free to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor.
+  - Few people realize how important sharing is, in particular sharing
+    of public goods. Contrary to common propaganda, ideas, techniques, stories,
+    melodies, images etc. are NOT hurt by sharing. On the contrary,
+    sharing keeps them alive.
+** Freedom 3
+- You are free to distribute copies of your modified versions to
+  others. By doing this you can give the whole community a
+  chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a
+  precondition for this.
+
+* Open Source? 
+Openness of source is less decisive when one or more of the four
+freedoms are formally or effectively taken away.
+The term "Open Source" is usually used synonymous to Free Software, in
+the past the term was coined to avoid misunderstandings. 
+
+* Licensing 
+** GPL
+- Copyleft, restrictive, enforces all four freedoms.
+*** BSD
+- Non-copyleft, permissive, not all rights have to be conserved.
+
+
+- Perversion Software Patente: Wie etwas, das eigentlich Innovation foerdern soll genau das Gegenteil bewirkt.
+- Digital Restrictions Management (DRM):
+ - Defective by Design und Malicious Features. Beispiele: Amazon Kindle, ei-Phone, Skype, Spotify, Steam, Diverse unfreie Betriebssysteme
+ - Probleme mit restriktiven Datenformaten: MP3, flash, docx, etc...
