What if the classic horror trope of the good doctor who becomes a monster at night were reversed? Instead of the good Dr. Jekyll transforming into the rampaging Mr. Hyde, advocates of free who work in nonfree environments can feel as if they only get to put on their altruistic persona at night. For academics advocating free software and free culture in particular, libre ethics are often at odds with both administrative structures and expected teaching outcomes. This session explores the struggles of advocating free in both research and teaching.
