Talk:Introduction to Computers/Application software
Add topicThis page is about Application Software. Why is the first heading "Intellectual Property"? I suggest moving this to a separate section dealing with this issue (along with some of the other points below).
Terminology
[edit source]Free Software
[edit source]It is important to define free software correctly. See The Free Software Definition - especially if this course/module is to be used by the billions of people likely to encounter technology for the first time in the next coming years.
Rename the Section on IP
[edit source]Avoid the term. See Did You Say “Intellectual Property”? It's a Seductive Mirage. What is written concerns copyright.
The second link (to "better video" is broken).
Other terms
[edit source]- Refer to "GNU/Linux", rather than "Linux" to acknowledge the contribution of the free software community and the GNU project.
- "Piracy" etc. - see Some Confusing or Loaded Words and Phrases to Avoid (or use with care)
