@jkb @praveen @DaveHiggins The talk given by #LuisVilla ( https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/stallman-nussbaum-and-sen-putting-freedom-in-context/ ) and by #AllisonRandal ( https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/free-software-free-society/ ), and the work of Leonardo Santos de Lima ( http://rccs.revues.org/pdf/5462 ) give the same understanding and also expand it with other useful notes.
@pluralistic Perhaps #AllisonRandal and #LuisVilla works ( https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/free-software-free-society/ and https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/stallman-nussbaum-and-sen-putting-freedom-in-context/ ) might be useful. As for explaining why many fall to the trap of #OpenSource — despite coming in the 1990s, while #FreeSoftware came in #1983 —, #YochaiBenkler 's keynote ( https://downloads.softwarefreedom.org/2017/conference/0-keynote.webm ) and @conservancy 's speeches can help form arguments.
@zzz @ljwrites Also see https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/stallman-nussbaum-and-sen-putting-freedom-in-context/ .
@alpine_thistle @hisham_hm "free/libre software" is a movement that, in capability-based theory of political philosophy, gives the user control over his own material environment, also taking care to give these freedoms and *preserve and spread* then legally. According to https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/stallman-nussbaum-and-sen-putting-freedom-in-context/ , https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/free-software-free-society/ and https://journals.openedition.org/rccs/pdf/5462 . Thus strong and "or-later" #copyleft license with community enforcement is advocated ( #AGPL first then #GPL second).
@aral I meant to say that all software has errors, they are made by humans, thus not perfect. To know why I used " #WhatsTheFix ?", see https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/f-as-in-freedom-d977/ and for "controlling material environment" see https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/stallman-nussbaum-and-sen-putting-freedom-in-context/ and https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/free-software-free-society/
