If they don't look for it, they may encounter it anyway. The &ldquo;open source&rdquo; rhetoric tends to lead people's attention away from issues of users' freedom, but not totally; there is still discussion of GNU and free software, and people have some chance of coming across it. When that happens, the reader is more likely to pay attention to information about GNU (such as that it's the work of a campaign for freedom and community) if he knows he is a user of the GNU system.
