Not directly. Because as long as a program is free software, that means the users are not being dominated by its developers whether these developers be it a large business, a small business, a few individuals or whatever, as long as the software is free they are not dominating people. However, most of the users of free software do not view it in ethical and social terms, there is a very effective and large movement called the Open Source movement, which is designed specifically to distract the users attention from these ethical and social issues while talking about our work. And they have been quite successful, there are many people who use our free software, which we developed for the sake of freedom and cooperation who have never heard the reasons for which we did so. And, this makes our community weak.
