“Finally, it is also an important right in a free society to be freely allowed to contribute to society’s well-being. However, if that is to occur, it must be possible for society’s state of affairs to become known to everyone, and it must be possible for everyone to speak his mind freely about it. Where this is lacking, liberty is not worth its name.” - Peter Forsskål

In light of Dr David Goldberg's recent speech at Helena Jäderblom's retirement in which he quoted Peter Forsskål, we wanted to remind everyone of the quote, which perfectly sums up Freedom of Information.
