- ignoramous 6y agoYou can in fact click on those boxes. When I did, it pointed to the 1886 Berne Convention as the first FOSS movement (?): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention

- chmod775 6y agoThe Berne Convention is about as opposed to a FOSS movement as you could get. The Berne Convention is what necessitated one in the first place.
- ignoramous 6y agoIsn't the Berne Convention about copyright? FOSS isn't necessarily at odds with it? The 1886 Berne Convention did introduce the concept of public domain and fair use, however; and that, in spirit, counts towards inspiring FOSS, I guess?
- chmod775 6y ago> The 1886 Berne Convention did introduce the concept of public domain and fair use It did not. I have no clue what gave you this idea. It's like saying that slavery introduced the concept of free men. The Berne Convention did not consider concepts such as 'fair use' at all, in fact some argue 'fair use' violates the Berne Convention. Further, public domain is a term for works whose protections under the Berne Convention expired.
