   Some things I (and many others) do not oppose in the name of "free software":

   1) Charging money for your software. (Though ideally we wouldn't need money)
   2) Keeping your software private for just you to use.

   Despite Stallman's totalitarian framing these have never been part of the organized movement (however relevant they are), these are misguided ideas from the grassroots derived from convention.

   Rather I believe everyone running a program should have The Four Freedoms over it!
