   @vkc
   Tired - FOSS is apolitical.

   Wired - FOSS has always been political.

   Inspired - Is FOSS anarcho-communist, authoritarian-communist, or laissez faire-/right-libertarian?

     @contrapunctus @vkc The truth;
     "FOSS" is an attempt to be neutral between the freedom of free software and the corporate bootlicking activity of "open source", but fails to be neutral; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/floss-and-foss.html

     @contrapunctus @vkc Vkc didn't write "FOSS" - thus you distorted the freedom flow.

     @Suiseiseki I'm sure you've noticed I prefer "freedom-respecting software" myself 😉 Was just going along with @vkc 's flow.

     If proof is necessary... 😀
