*** If the software is free, terms of service should become less
relevant, or even irrelevant, or did I miss something?

Yes, you do.  Facebook could be 100% free software, but as you as the
user don't run the code, they are not obliged to give it to you.
Furthermore, even if they were 100% free software AND the code was
public, as long as you use their servers to host your data, you're
still not in control (RMS has said a lot about this subject, btw.).

So we need a solution that is free software and that each user
runs on his own system.  Then the "terms of service" will be the
free software license, and then there is no problem.

Happy hacking!

Christian
