</div>I would recommend speaking about the "free as in freedom" concept of<br>
Linux and open source software - the 4 freedoms a software user should<br>
have, and that copying a software and giving a copy to your friend,<br>
modifying software etc. are basic freedoms anyone should have. Then<br>
speak about how Linux evolved, history of Linux and the status of<br>
Linux today.<br>
<br>
When I first started to learn programming, in 1983, I didn't know<br>
nothing about free software, open source software etc. Only after<br>
participating in open source conferences in 2001 and 2002 and reading<br>
the book "free as in freedom" (about Richard Stallman) I realized the<br>
"free as in freedom" concept and its advantages. Even today I'm still<br>
using non-free software such as Windows and Microsoft Office, but<br>
today I understand more about it than 10 years ago.<br>
