I have been working for quite awhile in support of the open-ness principle across several domains; Open Access, Open Institutional Repositories, Open Science, Open Educational Resources, FOSS.  Aaron Swartz was only 26 years-old.  But in my humble opinion, his commitment and heart was in the right place.  RIP, Aaron.

The sudden passing away of Aaron Swartz was a big shock to me. Aaron was such a brilliant fellow who dedicated his far too short life to open access, CC and the PD. I share the sorrow expressed by Tim Berners-Lee (timbl): „Aaron is dead. Wanderers in this crazy world, we have lost a mentor, a wise elder. Hackers for right, we are one down, we have lost one of our own. Nurtures, careers, listeners, feeders, parents all, we have lost a child. Let us all weep.”

This is maybe not public domain, but there is a ton of free and extremely valuable speeches from leading thinkers, researchers and other great people of our time. Worth visiting from time to time and watching smart things. Special impressions has been made to me from Jane Goddal (ape research) and Marvin Minsky (father of AI) both available there.
