商品描述

Who are computer hackers? What is free software? And what does the emergence of a community dedicated to the production of free and open source software--and to hacking as a technical, aesthetic, and moral project--reveal about the values of contemporary liberalism? Exploring the rise and political significance of the free and open source software (F/OSS) movement in the United States and Europe, Coding Freedom details the ethics behind hackers' devotion to F/OSS, the social codes that guide its production, and the political struggles through which hackers question the scope and direction of copyright and patent law. In telling the story of the F/OSS movement, the book unfolds a broader narrative involving computing, the politics of access, and intellectual property.

E. Gabriella Coleman tracks the ways in which hackers collaborate and examines passionate manifestos, hacker humor, free software project governance, and festive hacker conferences. Looking at the ways that hackers sustain their productive freedom, Coleman shows that these activists, driven by a commitment to their work, reformulate key ideals including free speech, transparency, and meritocracy, and refuse restrictive intellectual protections. Coleman demonstrates how hacking, so often marginalized or misunderstood, sheds light on the continuing relevance of liberalism in online collaboration.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

電腦駭客是誰?什麼是自由軟體?以及一個致力於生產自由開源軟體並將駭客行為視為技術、美學和道德項目的社群的出現,揭示了當代自由主義價值觀的內涵。《編碼自由》探討了自由開源軟體(F/OSS)運動在美國和歐洲的崛起和政治意義,詳述了駭客對F/OSS的奉獻所背後的倫理,指導其生產的社會規範,以及駭客通過對版權和專利法律範圍和方向的質疑所進行的政治鬥爭。在講述F/OSS運動的故事時,本書展示了一個更廣泛的敘述,涉及計算機、訪問權的政治和知識產權。

E. Gabriella Coleman追蹤駭客合作的方式,並研究了他們的激情宣言、駭客幽默、自由軟體專案治理和節慶駭客會議。通過觀察駭客如何維護他們的生產自由,Coleman展示了這些活動家如何通過對工作的承諾重新詮釋了包括言論自由、透明度和精英主義在內的重要理念,並拒絕限制性的知識產權保護。Coleman展示了駭客行為,這種行為常常被邊緣化或誤解,如何闡明了在線協作中自由主義的持續重要性。
