Free Software for Politics

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the unintended-consequences dept.

kevin lyda writes "The Howard Dean campaign is releasing software for web-based communities under the GNU GPL. The project apparently is based on drupal. See here for more info, and here for the software. Regardless if you're for Dean, against Dean, or you're not an American, it's great to see an American politician on the national level using and promoting free software. I wonder if RMS thought he'd see a U.S. presidential candidate releasing stuff under the GPL when he founded GNU 20 years ago!"

      What are you talking about?

      Naming a post "and meanwhile" just begs to be moderated offtopic, espeially when I have no idea what you're refering to.

  2. Dean gets "A" from NRA by dogfart · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    OT, but Dean received an "A" rating from the NRA while governor.

    Those concerned with SECOND amendment rights should pay heed. I's also nice to see a candidate of either party buck the general party line on an issue.
