   the metaphor has me utterly confused. I don't see a parallel at all.
   
   one of the issues has to do with bodily autonomy, and some people are inclined to override one's freedom to control one's own body so as to protect one from... what, placing oneself at risk of harm or violence perpetrated by others?
   
   the other issue has to do with computing autonomy, constantly threatened by those who wish to impose their wishes onto you, which curtails your freedom, while some tolerate, accept and even welcome others to have power over them.
   
   ?!?

     @dragestil feel like your metaphor is a little hard to follow.

     @heyd
     proponents of Nordic Model:
     - prostitution is inherently unjust
     - aim to eliminate prostitution
     opponents of Nordic Model / proponents of full decriminalisation:
     - "sex work" is fine

     proponents of free software movement:
     - nonfree software is inherently unjust
     - aim to eliminate nonfree software
     opponents of free software movement / proponents of open source:
     - "closed source software" is fine

     Does that make sense?

     South Australian Upper House will vote on the Nordic Model in February - looks like there's a good chance it will pass.

     More on the Nordic Model:
     https://www.catwa.org.au/the-nordic-model/

     Nordic Model vs full decriminalisation is like free software vs open source. Proponents of Nordic model (resp. free software) view prostitution (resp. nonfree software) as inherently oppressive. Opponents view "sex work" (resp. "closed source") as ok.
