   free software is not about licenses; those are means to the goal of freedom. the free software movement is not a campaign for certain copyright licenses to be used, it's an educational campaign for users to reject software that takes away the control they deserve over their own computing

     #freesoftware never figured out how to stop from being co-opted. copyleft is insufficient, no sort of license can actually stop this.

     it isnt enough to use freely-licensed software. it isnt enough to write copylefted software.

     a free software movement that doesnt want to just make it cheaper for big companies to remake decades of our work in their image, at our inconvenience, has to resist corporate control.

     thats the future of free software, if it has any. rms and the #fsf arent interested.
