The Linux foundation offers discussions with field specialists in order to calm fears in the business tech community that open software can be safe if used properly Ankerholz. Despite the obvious potential issues with security and copyright law entanglements, Software developers are moving towards Open Source, if not Free Software.
Even the U. Department of Defense, in an interesting move, announced recently that it would experiment with opening its software to open-source development U. There are some issues to be raised with this concept of a digital commons.
One can argue that there can be no digital commons, that there is always a cost barrier keeping people without money, out.
People must pay to acquire technology that can run software and be in an area that can access the Internet. To obtain technology to run software and access the Internet, there must be extractive industries and heavy refinement and manufacturing according to the capitalist linear production system.
Perhaps a person has to pay somehow for the Internet to be accessible to their devices. To run the software and access the parts of the Internet that a person might want to access, one might need to buy the software or pay a fee or a subscription or subject themselves to data collection for targeted marketing.
While not a perfect commons, many of the access issues of computer technology can be addressed and mitigated, if not largely removed. Many of these issues are directly addressed by the FSF, which sees unnecessary price barriers keeping people from accessing computing technologies and lack of personal freedom within those environments as an evil to be fought.
Free software is free to access through an Internet connection or very cheap to obtain on a disk, reducing or eliminating the price of software. Free software is much easier to run on older or less powerful computers than most accessible proprietary programs, removing a layer of obsolescence by allowing older computers to be used longer. It is important to acknowledge that creation of the technologies and infrastructure for FOSS, or any computing, to be possible requires extensive resource extraction and heavy industrial production.
It is important to remember that digital technology is not a global commons, and requires certain privileges to access. However, FLOSS removes a layer of obsolescence, reduces waste, and makes hardware more accessible to more people.
While the system is available, and while the fears of those behind much of FOSS are not fully realized, those who are able to use the digital space and have the freedom to do as they chose, have the ability to work against the repressive entities of the system.
