   free software has always been that you have a right to the source code of software that you use, and a right to modify it. If you try to make it part of a broader goal of social justice, you end up with people like the moron at LibrePlanet that said proprietary software is freer than FOSS if it's easier to use.

      @moonman As an associated point: Free software should not be gated by other political views. The cause of free software is important enough and good enough, that we should be able to tolerate people we don't like or don't agree with contributing in it.

      (And, obligatory, Stallman was wrong.)
