It is like a nation that has freedom but most of its people have never been taught to value freedom. They are in a vulnerable position, because if you say to them: &ldquo;Give up your freedom and I give you this valuable thing&rdquo;, they might say &ldquo;yes&rdquo; because they never learnt why they should say &ldquo;no&rdquo;. You put that together with corporations that might want to take away people's freedom, gradually and encroach on freedom and you have a vulnerability. And what we see is that many of the corporate developers and distributors of free software put it in a package together with some nonfree user subjugating software and so they say the user subjugating software is a bonus, that it enhances the system. And if you haven't learnt to value freedom, you won't see any reason to disbelieve them.
