大家好, 我给大家介绍一下,Akira是我的朋友,来自日本东京的黑客。他在好多年前就参 与自由软件运动,同时他还非常了解我们的传统文化。一直在通过中国的传统文 化,从社会道德的角度来解释自由软件。 他通过日本的一些材料了解到“王戎卖桃”的故事,他在下面的邮件里已经做了解 释。大家也都可以搜索到这个历史典故。简单来说就是王戎家的桃树结的果实非常 美味,他会在家门口练摊卖桃(不知道当时是否有城管来找他麻烦),他为了防止 别人得到桃的种子进而能够自己种桃树卖桃,他在卖桃的时候都把桃核扣了出来, 只卖果肉。 这个典故生动地展示了自由软件和专有软件的不同理念,以及哪个理念更符合社会 大众的公共利益。Akira想和大家一起讨论一下这个有趣的话题。 鼓励大家用英文参与讨论,以便他能更好地参与进来。 谢谢 继哲 Akira Urushibata 写道: > Wang Rong (王戎 东晋 234-305) was one of the Seven Wise Men of the > Bamboo Grove.
