Proposal for Open Source Politial Action Committee. Open Source
is a catch phase which tries to emulate the Free Software concept
developed by Richard Stallman and the FSF. Mostly a marketing term
used by OSI, it uses a collaborative software method modled on the work
of the Free Software foundation which helped produced the GNU/Linux
operating system. Free Software developement depends on access to
information on hardware devices, freedom to share information and
reasonable copyright law. In fact, Free Software was developed as a

Richard Stallman on Copyright and and the Public Trust. Stallman
is one of the leading members of the Open Sourced movement
and founder of the GNU software

programs under the GPL License from being removed from the
public trust. This guarantees generations of future programmers
and computer users to have a large body of available works to
use and learn from.
