      ab: Part of a special section on anthropological research on free software or open source software in widely disparate social spaces and global locations. The writer contends that the political agnosticism of free and open source software (FOSS) determines the expressive life and force of its informal politics. She asserts that the denial of its formal politics implemented through a particularized cultural exercise of free speech enables the broad mobility of FOSS as artifacts and metaphors and so lays the basis for its informal political scope: its key role as a catalyst by which to reconceptualize the assumptions of intellectual property rights through its use and inversion.
