O documento descreve a agenda para o Software Freedom Day, um evento anual que celebra o código aberto e a liberdade de software. O evento inclui demonstrações técnicas, projetos práticos e palestrantes convidados. A Sun Microsystems apoia o evento e o software livre, contribuindo com código e ferramentas como OpenOffice, NetBeans e Solaris.

3. “ Num momento nas nossas vidas cada vez mais dependentes de tecnologias, é importante nós tomarmos o tempo para analisar o impacto da tecnologia em nossas vidas, e a importância de garantir que ela não é usada para limitar-nos, mas sim para nos levar ainda mais longe numa trajetória de oportunidade, inovação e liberdade De todas as pessoas Pia Waugh, President of Software Freedom International

It has long been in Sun's history to support open environments, Java being a prime example. Over the past few years, we've greatly expanded our community building efforts. Building open and free communities is likely the least understood of Sun's innovation, choice and open strategy triad, but may well be the most important. Opening our IP and our technology provides immediate support not only for our products and services, but for development of new and innovative products which build on our core technologies. It's a win-win situation for Sun and the developer communities, and provides you – our customers – with a broader base of support and set of solutions than any single company could ever achieve on its own. Perhaps because of our history, Sun has a very keen awareness of the importance of community. Communities drive standards, adoption and development. Sun's open source licensing is about fostering innovative, enterprising communities. Sun's patent policy if about protecting the community from exposure. Sun's commitment to good open source governance is about building communities through trust. Sun is wokring to build equitable, transparent and fair open source communities. When Sun build its first workstation, it was produced out of common off-the-shelf components, and ued an open source operating system, BSD OS 4.02, (although it wasn't called open source at the time!), to which Bill Joy, one of Sun's founders, was a principal contributor. IN the intervening time, Sun has promoted open standards, such as TCP/IP and NFS, which have always won out over closed standards (what did happen to Token Ring?). Sun was also a contributor to X Windows and Open Windows projects. When SunOS was merged with SVR3 in 1990, the source to SunOS, subsequently Solaris, was closed. However, Sun bought the rights to UNIX, avoiding licensing fees then, and it is those rights which allowed us to open the source in 2005.
