Free Knowledge Experts agree on the need to create new spaces

very prominent names in the field of Free Knowledge are going through one of the International Summer School organized by the University of Extremadura. The most repeated idea is that free access to information required by the user dose of generosity and collective work.

provide users with greater freedom
Experience Ignasi Labastida, who works as coordinator of the Office for Knowledge Dissemination of the University of Barcelona focuses since 2003 to free educational materials, and he uses a license from Creative Commons, an American organization that manages royalties. In this context, the intentions of Ignasi Labastida are those of providing open access to scientific content, so that they serve as an alternative source of data to more traditional scientific publishing. "When we talk about open access we mean the ability to act on a certain content, and the opportunity to amend it personally." "You have to give users the freedom to copy, download or link to a scientific paper," qualifies Labastida.
To this end, the speaker calls for greater involvement of institutions, "to implement real policies to support access free ", as already happens in Britain, America and Germany. In these countries is being discussed how to make public the results of research paid for with state funds.

fined Microsoft 280 million Euros (for monopoly)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/5171126.stm (free translation: Jacinto Dávila).

has been fined Microsoft 280.5 million euros (357 dollars) by the European Commission for disobeying
prior opinion
on trial for anti-competitive practices.

proprietary software giant will appeal the fine is the latest episode in a long
dispute with European regulators.

The decision is a sequel to that order which marked a milestone in the
2004, in which he ordered the company state-Unidense
you give information to rivals about its Windows operating system.

European regulators also warned Microsoft it could face more fines
up to 3 million euros per day.

Content and Clarity.

daily fines would be imposed from 31 July if Microsoft
not provide developers with technical information rivals "complete and accurate
," said the European Commission.

Microsoft general counsel, Brad Smith, insisted the
company has complied with the demands of the committee and said they would appeal the decision
.

"This is not for non-compliance, is clarity," said Mr. Smith in
press conference.

Mr. Smith said Microsoft would argue that the original demand
the commission was vague and that the company has done everything possible
since then to comply with the opinion and submit all required information
.

Microsoft is expected to deliver a final package of information for
use of their rivals, July 18, long before the
deadline set by the European Commission on 24 July.

"Hopefully, We'll close this chapter in a couple of weeks,"
Mr. Smith said, adding that despite
Microsoft was not happy with the fine, the company had seen signs of progress in
resolution of the dispute.

Des-assembling

Commissioner for Competition of the European Union, Neelie Kroes, said he had not had
alternative but to "establish the payment of penalties
" against Microsoft, adding that "no company is by
above the law. "

"I regret that, two years after the decision ..
Microsoft has not yet ceased its illegal conduct, "said Ms Kroes.

Brussels had warned Microsoft in December that
could receive fines of 2 million per day if not complied with the orders of the commission
.

According to the order of 2004, Microsoft had to provide rival firms
more information about your software, and so enable
write programs that can run (run) better
Windows operating system.

That decision also required Microsoft to dis-assemble your (software management
of audio and video) Windows Media Player from its Windows operating system
, besides setting the record fine of 497 million Euros
.

The problem with technology Linux

"The problem with tecnologi'a is that, in general, is developed by people with resources to benefit people with resources. It is a deeply conservative social force. Another interesting aspect is that too complex to be controlled.
