Freedom Box Foundation Wants Plug Servers For All

Posted by samzenpus on from the plud-privacy dept.

An anonymous reader writes "From the NYTimes.com article: 'A Columbia law professor in Manhattan, Eben Moglen, [is] putting together a shopping list to rebuild the Internet — this time, without governments and big companies able to watch every twitch of our fingers. ...

This month, he created the Freedom Box Foundation to organize the software.'"
