1."All Information Should Be Free"-Information sharing is a powerful positive good because it is not possible to make good decisions if important information is hidden. It is the ethical duty of hackers to facilitate access to information wherever possible.2."Mistrust Authority-Promote Decentralization"-The rules and hierarchical management structures that characterize government and corporate bureaucracies mostly serve to prevent people from getting things done, rather than solving problems. Each hacker should act individually (or in very small groups) to do what he or she thinks is best, and ignore the rules.

Create a shared library with a simple function that returns an integer value. Then write a program to call this function and print its return value. After compiling and running the program, make a change to the library function that will change the return value of the function. Now rebuild the library, and relink your already compiled .o file(s) with it and run the program again. Which return value do you see this time? What happens if you rename the function in the shared library and try to relink your program?
