you seem to be responding to a twisted notion of free software. our movement defends the notion that you should be entitled to control your computing, that subjugating you through the software you use is wrong. the more digital your life is, the more aspects of your individual and collective freedom depend on not being subjugated through software. like security, the weakest link is the one that breaks, so in order to have freedom, you need all the foundations of freedom to be strong.
"open" is a corrupted, toned-down misrepresentation of that to pave the way for exploitation rather than liberation and autonomy. don't fall for their propaganda.
