Concepts of Free Software has been spilled over into other areas and it has been expanded beyond the software; Free Software is actually Free Culture. In this presentation I've covered the exact meaning of Free Software, as a phrase, and then try to differentiate between Free Software Foundation(FSF) and Open Source Initiative(OSI). Talk a little bit about Licenses, financial resources and revenue streams of FOSS business ecosystem and at last ending the presentation with introducing Aaron Swartz and his efforts for real freedom. The major outcome of this presentation is insisting on the human rights of any person to know what exactly going on under the hood of their devices, have the right to access and manipulate the source codes of their gadgets, unless they don't really own it and it is severely an act of violating the privacy. *The presentation file is around 42MB due to containing a 2mins video clip.* خلاصه ارائه: - حق داشتن دسترسی و تغییر کد منبع نرم‌افزاری و شیوه‌ی کار دقیق سخت‌افزاری دستگاه‌ها از حقوق اولیه‌ی انسانی محسوب می‌شه. - انسان‌ها با وارد کردن انواع وسایل نرم‌/سخت‌افزاری به حریم‌خصوصی زندگی‌شون، باید حق داشتن دسترسی به منابع نرم‌/سخت‌افزاری رو داشته باشن. - وظیفه و مسئولیت تمام مهندسین کامپیوتر جامعه: بر منابع کدهای نرم/سخت‌افزاری وسایل مختلف همچون خبرنگاران عینی، بررسی موشکافانه داشته باشن.
