Edward Snowden's moral courage, and why massive surveillance made it necessary.

I know something about moral courage. Thousands of programmers could, in 1983, have decided to reject the enticing profits of proprietary software and develop a free operating system, but I'm the only one who did it.

Snowden's act demanded far more moral courage than mine, and I honor him for that.
