   @luis_in_brief I kinda disagree with this, in that the intent us *supposed* to be that they're there for users, and users are supposed to fairly pay a programmer to get the software to do what they want if it doesn't already.

   But in practice you're right that too many of the movement participants put too much weight on developers' and capitalist exploiters' rights and DGAF about users.

     Banged this out over tea this morning. TLDR: the FSF/OSI four freedoms are myopic in their focus on software developers, and we should complement them by asking what freedoms non-developers value.
