"Who are computer hackers? What is free software? And what does the emergence of a
community dedicated to the production of free and open source software--and to hacking
as a technical, aesthetic, and moral project--reveal about the values of contemporary
liberalism? Exploring the rise and political significance of the free and open source
software (F/OSS) movement in the United States and Europe, Coding Freedom details
the ethics behind hackers' devotion to F/OSS, the social codes that guide its production,
and the political struggles through which hackers question the scope and direction
of copyright and patent law. In telling the story of the F/OSS movement, the book
unfolds a broader narrative involving computing, the politics of access, and intellectual
property. E. Gabriella Coleman tracks the ways in which hackers collaborate and examines
passionate manifestos, hacker humor, free software project governance, and festive
hacker conferences. Looking at the ways that hackers sustain their productive freedom,
Coleman shows that these activists, driven by a commitment to their work, reformulate
key ideals including free speech, transparency, and meritocracy, and refuse restrictive
intellectual protections. Coleman demonstrates how hacking, so often marginalized
or misunderstood, sheds light on the continuing relevance of liberalism in online
collaboration."--Back cover
