Watch out, though&mdash;a number of companies that associate themselves with the term &ldquo;open source&rdquo; actually base their business on nonfree software that works with free software. These are not free software companies, they are proprietary software companies whose products tempt users away from freedom. They call these programs &ldquo;value-added packages&rdquo;, which shows the values they would like us to adopt: convenience above freedom. If we value freedom more, we should call them &ldquo;freedom-subtracted&rdquo; packages.
