The Libre Services Manifesto
A Non-Proprietary Model for Delivery of Internet Services
About the Libre Services Manifesto
The Libre Services Manifesto describes a radically new, completely non-proprietary model for the delivery of Internet services.Libre Services are an extension of the principles of free software into the Internet services domain. They are Internet services that may be freely copied and reused by anyone. The Libre Services model exists in relationship to the proprietary Internet services model of AOL, MSN and Yahoo, in an analogous way to how GNU/Linux exists in relation to Microsoft Windows.
The Libre Services Manifesto is organized as a series of largely independent articles. Each article stands on its own, and can be read and understood independently of the others. Together, these articles provide a complete description of every aspect of the Libre Services concept. Since each article is intended to be self-contained, some material may be duplicated in more than one article.
