What is Free Software?/¿Qué es el Software Libre?

I have given this talk on a number of places. It answers a couple of very important questions, that for many people seem to be obvious: What is Free Software? What lies behind our movement? What implications does it have?
Of course, I try to give it a different emphasis, ellaborating on Free Knowledge, on software being an expression of science.

Resumen: 

Plática que he impartido en varios lugares ya que atiende a una duda que mucha gente puede dar por obvia: ¿Qué es el software libre? ¿Qué hay detrás de nuestro movimiento? ¿Qué implicaciones tiene?
Intento, claro está, responder estas dudas dando un énfasis diferente del más común; elaboro sobre del Conocimiento Libre, y en el software como una expresión de la ciencia.

I want to know if it is possible to use part of his presentation "¿Qué es el software libre?" in a lecture on free software, I have listened to your presentation file gasu_debian.mp3 and I was delighted.
