Re: CFTC Ruling Defines Bitcoin and Digital Currencies as Commodities
Bitcoin is free software therefore it is free speech.
"Free software" means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer”.
Good luck, CFTC.
