@rozenglass @Suiseiseki @SuperSnekFriend also i flat-out disagree with you that free software includes the freedom to use proprietary software. "free software" explicitly refers to the ability to use the code without worry of violating copyright (although https://cr.yp.to/softwarelaw.html makes a compelling argument that anything made legally downloadable is implicitly "yours" by nature of how the web works), understand how the code works, and modify the code to patch bugs or add features. the latter two points are why *i* personally favour free software over proprietary because it saves me headache when i know i'm in control and don't have to pester someone to fix bugs, and wait, and wait.... that said, i *agree* that people are free to mix in proprietary software if they understand the risks; i use it assuming no other option available. but these are two distinct concepts, so don't overload what "free software" already means, please.
