Frédéric Couchet, General Delegate of the French free software advocay group April, will give a workshop in Lyon, on 26 February from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. His presentation is titled: Free software, a good community to develop and protect.

His discussion will start with the freedoms offered by free software, to copy, study, distribute and improve the code. It is more than just a licence or just a technique, behind these advantages there is a philosophy of opposition to the privatization of knowledge.
