Now, we, the developers of free software, are also human, we also make mistakes. I have designed features that users didn't like. I have written code that had bugs in it. The difference is, {with our} you're not a prisoner of our decisions, because we don't keep you helpless. If you don't like my decisions, you can change them, because you have the freedom to change them. I won't blame the developers of non-free, user-subjugating software for being human and making mistakes; I will blame them for keeping you helpless prisoner of their mistakes by denying you the freedom to correct those mistakes yourself.
