I'm often asked to describe the &ldquo;advantages&rdquo; of free software. But the word &ldquo;advantages&rdquo; is too weak when it comes to freedom. Life without freedom is oppression, and that applies to computing as well as every other activity in our lives. We must refuse to give the developers of the programs or computing services control over the computing we do. This is the right thing to do, for selfish reasons; but not solely for selfish reasons.
