google's unwillingness to collaborate is not the issue that the free software movement cares about. that's an issue for another movement that cares about different issues and has different goals

our qualms with google are its unwillingness to respect users' essential freedoms. that's what we stand for, and it doesn't involve any form of collaboration. that's also the reason why the equivalence you propose is false. see, this other group is so misleading that the issue they claim as key is not even covered by their definition, appropriated from ours. and they try to confuse people by claiming to struggle for the same thing, while acting like a counter-revolutionary movement, a docile opposition. and some people fall for it, because their propaganda budgets run circles around our marketing volunteers :-(
