@thatbrickster @SuperDicq i believe there certainly are enough organizations in this area who try to define "freedom".
only they tend to define it as "free as in free beer" like the whole permissive license crowd. or "freedom until you wrongthink", like FSFE who'd seem to rather have some kind of "ethical license".
FSF and RMS are a clear cut case of exceptionalism because most people (including myself) couldn't come up with something which ONLY protects freedom without additional limitations.
