Franklin Street Statement on Freedom and Network Services

The Franklin Street Statement (named for the FSF’s office address) is something like a definition of what should be a free service, as a network service that it’s the result of free software and which shares free data.

Overall I like the idea, although I don’t think some parts are a good idea (we hope to work with organizations including the FSF to provide moral and technical leadership on this issue; I’d have liked it better being just in the open source arena… is there a definition for a open service?).

Yes, I endorse the Franklin Street Statement.
