The Hacker Ethics
• Access to computers – and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works – should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!
• All information should be free
• Mistrust Authority – promote decentralization
• Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not criteria such as degrees, age, race, sex, or position
• You can create art and beauty on a computer
• Computers can change your life for the better

“I consider that the golden rule requires that if I like a
program I must share it with other people who like it.
Software sellers want to divide the users and conquer
them, making each user agree not to share with others. I
refuse to break solidarity with other users in this way.
I cannot in good conscience sign a nondisclosure
agreement or a software license agreement. For years I
worked within the Artificial Intelligence Lab to resist such
tendencies and other inhospitalities, but eventually they
had gone too far:
I could not remain in an institution where such things are
done for me against my will.”
