These are the things that we as the public can and must demand from our government. If you're not familiar with the Free Software Foundation, its time you get educated. https://www.fsf.org/
If you support freedom, if you do not want to live like a communist slave, then wake the fuck up! This is 2020 and the internet and your data are the key to control of your mind and your body.
Everyone has to recognize the disaster we have created by allowing men like Bill Gates total control over our information and information systems. Do you trust the people that own all of your information? Would you like the world to change? Take action, do something about it.
Support free code, support transparency, support freedom. Free software code represents a whole new way of life, freedom from the tyranny of the oligarchs that control all of the systems that manage your data and the systems that you use for life in this technological age.
I would suggest everyone look into Linux to replace other operation systems. It is NOT the end all be all, but for now, its your best alternative. With enough public support we could produce an entire market of free operating systems and applications. With enough support, just like "The Great Awakening", we can take back our lives in this new world of big data and data systems.

I've always preferred Mac OS to Windoze. Every Windoze computer I've had packed up after a couple of years whereas a Mac just keeps going..
That said, I wonder if we're about to move to a more open source type system once quantum computing becomes the norm.. Also, blockchain will change the way the Internet works too, uncensored and free though I don't know how the sickos will be dealt with..

Exactly, and if we don't take back control, it won't be long before someone like Bill Gates will be requiring you to take their vaccine before you can use their software. It could be Mark Zuckerberg, maybe Jeff Bezos, it could be Tim Cook, most probably a name you've never heard of before, but the point is the companies will own us and dictate your life.

It has nothing to do with "the man", it has everything to do with taxpayer funded software, and the ability for ALL to benefit from the code.
For an analogy, it would be much like taking taxpayer dollars, contracting out to a company (like Microsoft) to pave the roads, and then allowing them total control over those roads, they get additional payments for patching holes in this very shitty built road, and they also charge the gov't toll usage which is then passed on to the taxpayers. In other words, its a gravy train for the company who owns the license.

Let be careful not to conflate Taxpayer funded research and development vs that done in the private sector.
To suggest anyone in the private sector be forced to give up their proprietary rights to their work is just plain stupid.
You suggest: "Support free code" I equate support to mean paid for.
No one would be motivated to do the work, if they weren't paid for it.
As for the rest of your rights, if you don't like the product's value don't use it.

Your premise is as false as pushing the notion that Europeans have the answer to any fucking thing!
Basically Eurotrash have been the spear point on so many global multicultural fuckups that you can't possibly be serious in this post.
And if you are then get lost trash.
