Welcome to episode seven …… of the Open Source Utopia Podcast.
00:00:07.173 --> 00:00:22.489
There are a lot of OK proprietary …… and closed-source software products, but going open source brings you …… financial independence, freedom, equality,… and democratic collaboration.
00:00:22.489 --> 00:00:27.160
These are key words to maintaining peace.
00:00:27.594 --> 00:00:37.404
Being a member of an open source community …… requires some of the same as being …… a citizen of a democratic country.
00:00:38.271 --> 00:00:42.174
Both need good governance and contribution.
00:00:42.908 --> 00:00:50.383
Both benefit from equal access, and discrimination brings you nowhere.
00:00:51.484 --> 00:00:57.189
Both openness and freedom …… can seem dangerous to some people.
00:00:57.756 --> 00:01:06.331
To truly embrace open source, we must dear to be open …… and allow others their freedom.
00:01:06.965 --> 00:01:10.569
It's not as easy as you might think.
00:01:11.905 --> 00:01:23.783
Openness between countries can be really hard, but the trust it builds …… between peoples and governments …… can be immensely valuable.
00:01:24.316 --> 00:01:26.019
Think about it a bit.
00:01:26.019 --> 00:01:29.055
What if governments were open source?
00:01:29.055 --> 00:01:36.495
I'm not only thinking only about borders …… and that kind of stuff, but about open information.
00:01:36.495 --> 00:01:39.899
Can we trust each other that much?
00:01:41.233 --> 00:01:45.572
Well, if you look around, maybe, yes, we can?
00:01:45.737 --> 00:01:58.518
Even nuclear arms treaties, look back at the United States and the Soviet Union, they were built on the fundamental trust …… created by openness and inspection.
00:01:59.185 --> 00:02:06.159
However, one thing that has never been open …… is the software behind the nuclear arsenal.
00:02:06.259 --> 00:02:08.495
What if that was open source?
00:02:09.829 --> 00:02:15.768
Let's look at that in the next episode, called “Open Source in War”.
