Re: [Fsfe-uk] hacker definition

Hi,

Sometime ago I wrote in about chasing up C4's IdeasFactory 
<http://ideasfactory.tv/>  about the worng information they were giving out.

Well, as was suggested here I wrote them and the  editor replied today 
accepting my position and also inquired whether I could write an article 
with *links* to relevant *UK specific* resources.

Apart from the usual free software inspired solutions like Creative 
Commons I feel there might be a chance to give publicity to the 
empowering and 'political' aspects of free software.

Anyone interested and with more time at hand? I have written back asking 
for more info.
