<div dir="ltr">Thanks, things have been silent here, and I wasn't sure that I was signed-up correctly. So I "pinged" the list?<div><br></div><div>I'm uncertain of what I should be studying right now?

Anyone know what will we cover in the next class? </div><div><br></div><div>Also, I don't understand the saying that OS software is "Free as in speech, not as in beer." Is beer free in Helsinki? Isn't open source software and brewing beer more analogous than free speech? Beer is brewed: It has a recipe, a brewing process and a finished product. Similarly, software is compiled: It has code, a compiling process, and a finished binary. </div><div><br></div><div>What you do with that the recipe and the beer is up to your discretion. You can give the beer away or charge for it. You can give the recipe away or charge for it. People can change and alter your recipe... Etc. So too with code and software. </div><div><br></div><div>Freedom of speech is an altogether different topic.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Preston <br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 26, 2017 at 7:03 AM, Reginald Garnigan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rgarnigan@gmail.com" target="_blank">rgarnigan@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Huh</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 26, 2017 2:24 AM, "H P Ladds" <<a href="mailto:householdwords@gmail.com" target="_blank">householdwords@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Ping</div>
