A campaign aims to prohibit nondisclosure agreements that suppress testimony about crimes such as rape.

The nondisclosure agreements that cause the broadest harm are those that withhold generally useful technical information from the public. One technical nondisclosure agreement can keep millions of people under someone's thumb. In the early 1980s I reached the conclusion that it was immoral to accept a nondisclosure agreement for generally useful technical information, and I have carefully followed that principle ever since.

It was this conclusion, which I reached in the early 1980s, that propelled me to develop the free operating system GNU.
