Intellectual Freedom
Intellectual Freedom is the ideal found in, among other things, education and the Free Software Movement.
Intellectual Freedom is defined in "A Manifesto for the Intellectual Freedom Movement" as:
"...the inalienable rights of a person to use ideas--the freedom to use one's mind. Intellectual Freedom is the right to own the ideas that you possess and it is the right to use your ideas in conjunction with your physical property in any way you wish. It is the right to be free from claims of illegally possessing or using ideas. It is the recognition that to call ideas that one person possesses the property of another is analogous to calling one person the property of another. Intellectual Freedom is the inalienable right of all humanity to take part in the use of expressions; of inventions; of ideas."
