By this I mean retaining freedom over relinquishing it in exchange for the technological equivalent of rifles and blankets. This is a variation of the old and tired bit of husksterism, which goes, "If you object to nonfree X, then you would have gotten rid of nonfree Y." Which is rubbish. Technological freedom movements are not about auditing the contents of peoples closets. People who care about freedom might tell you why nonfree is bad for you, but its not about telling users what to do. Its about examining the things developers are distributing to users, criticizing the nonfree things, and promoting and developing alternatives that support freedom. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQIHy9AAoJEM5s7GXJ0FEIuVIH/0NXlOyxRTR6eT41BOQM8XkS wn/UI8G7Kt7NS/s9Z3W+KIICIVeYyQpmxMpCnhRKNUsaGWgfwygoQ8BmSvv9Oues qroQoXCN9tBgjH86cxt2v7Ujjv8F+PQuU+SH47tMqM585f0H1KUzR8U2AArgYcNS V4DVA93yajQWuqgJDIPAeQB91w6o3safHxpZ7hvEOucFfVSaS7WAGtHLFk65nQ9I s10Gdl5RKAq+laI5i/qWqgABXpjK7Cf7cUHpDk84mmb3HN4pbWvL/eyCO/aPJAOd 7jBi3s9jouvXy5LlGGeFHALMAoEyfgPRPdoMHMqPHIS5KiwoSFfuXB2KFsl/fS8= =Xlx4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
