Summary edit

Description
English: Part of the original MIT hacker ethic of the 1960s, "All information should be free." -aaronsw

The unspoken manifesto of the MIT hackers as recounted by Steven Levy in Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution and reprinted (seen here) in What the Dormouse Said: How the Sixties Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry by John Markoff.

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 bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.

You can create art and beauty on a computer.

Computers can change your life for the better.
