Deep, Broad and Consistent Integration through Free Software and Libre Services Tools are intrinsic to social relationships. An individual relates himself in action to his society through the use of tools that he actively masters, or by which he is passively acted upon. To the degree that he masters his tools, he can invest the world with his meaning; to the degree that he is mastered by his tools, the shape of the tool determines his own self-image. Convivial tools are those which give each person who uses them the greatest opportunity to enrich the environment with the fruits of his or her vision. Industrial tools deny this possibility to those who use them and they allow their designers to determine the meaning and expectations of others. Most tools today cannot be used in a convivial fashion.

• Unix/GNU Vs Microsoft Windows
  • Unified file model, pipe, small dedicated progs, ...
• Emacs vs Vi
  • buffers, major-modes, minor-modes, key-maps, frames, windows, regions,
• qmail vs sendmail
  • complete separation of queuing and spooling from submission, delivery and protocols.

Enable the tool user to be creative and expressive

• Halaal means Moral/Ethical – Okay to do/consume
• Haraam means Immoral/Unethical/Harmful – Should Not Be Done/Consumed

Defining Halaal Software/Internet Service:

1

Is A Perpetual Transparent Modifiable Poly-Existential –
Equivalent of “Free Software”

2

Its Use Has Been Endorsed By The Engineering Profession

3

Its Use Has Not Been Prohibited By Ethicists
(Sources of Emulation)
