Liberation Technology

Here’s a paper from last year where I introduce the notion of liberation technology, defined as software and hardware that a) encourages ingenuity among users but b) does not create dependency relationships with designers, IP holders, firms, or countries.

This paper was presented at the PCMLP Oxford “ICT Standards Conference” Conference in the Cotswolds in 2003.
