Good, so we agree there’s no cult of personality. Also lol at you bringing emotion into this.
> Yes, many people have been confused with marketing where there is the bait of freedom promised, but switched out with proprietary malware.
Literally nobody, NOBODY, thinks of freedom when you tell them “this program is free” unless they already subscribe to a specific ideology advocating freedoms non-programmers can’t even conceive of let alone even use, because generally when you’re describing a product or service that’s not what “free” means. This has nothing to do with marketing, that’s just the language, and it is only through propaganda that anyone would see the term as meaning anything different. I’m not even making a value judgement here, as I view propaganda as a neutral thing, but the fact is that “free” does not mean to most people what it does to you, and to engage in a campaign to get them to think otherwise is by definition propaganda.
