This got posted on the NZLUG lists... lock and load:
The average bloke doesn't give a monkeys about libre. For too long open
source zealots have been pushing the libre side, when really the four
freedoms mainly apply to the freedom of programmers.
I'm not a programmer, but I value the fact that others can modify and
improve the software I use.
I value the fact that a community has the freedom to back up and maintain
this kind of software without my having to purchase some kind of
maintenance contract.
I value the fact that I can redistribute this software without DRM.
I give a whole lot of monkeys about "freedom" and "free as in free
speech". - Boom!
God bless!
