Today I talk with James Bottomely, whom I met at the Open Source Linux Conference in 2021.
In this interview we delve into open source software, the different types of "free" open source software, the type of work James has done, the importance of patents and copyrights, and even go off-trail with some talk of Android setup.
James is a Kernel developer at IBM and a member of Hansen Partnership. He's encouraged open source adoption among teams at IBM and is a proponent of protecting ownership of open source code via the copyleft mechanism.

Kind of a long interview, but my first one for my blog. I realize my voice isn’t the most dynamic, but I hope James’ point got across.
What do you think? Did you like it? Anything I can do better for my next interview (besides make sure my internet connection is stable)?
I’d also like suggestions on a recorder setup. I tried creating a virtual device in OBS and setting up a professional-looking layout, but that process ate up my CPU so I had to abandon it and just use Jitsi’s recording services.
