When it is 10,000 days old it will have begun eradicating ignorance and changed for the better the fate of billions of people, or else it will be constructing the most oppressive system of inequality and un-freedom ever devised by tyranny.

Description:The ecosystem of FOSS is complex, embracing thousands of businesses with diverse commercial interests and hundreds of thousands of programmers collaborating to make good software and protect its freedom.

In this talk, Moglen will present an overview of the current state of the ecosystem’s legal defense needs, independent of the concerns of particular projects and firms, and discuss his view of the likely near-term developments.
