CREDIL is pleased to announce a reception and talk with the founder of The Founder of the Free Software Foundation, Richard Stallman.
Richard Stallman is a software developer and software freedom activist. In 1983 he announced the project to develop the GNU operating system, a Unix-like operating system meant to be entirely free software, and remains the project's leader. Since the mid-1990s, Stallman has spent most of his time in political advocacy for free software, and spreading the ethical ideas of the movement, as well as campaigning against both software patents and dangerous extension of copyright laws. Stallman pioneered the concept of copyleft, and is the main author of the GNU General Public License, the most widely used free software license.

CREDIL aims to do with the relationship between the IT world and the Business world what Richard Stallman did with the relationship between people and software licenses, that is: make it work freely for both parties and encourage innovation.
