content: Stallman's open source is just repackaged communism in its intent. It happens to work by chance because software has no scarcity and is a natural meritocracy, but they're working hard to abolish this dynamic and use it to suppress wages and the value of software in general, leading to the same old "everyone is equal because everything sucks for everyone" outcome. It's telling that all the big corporations are into open source, as well as employing self professed communists. Stallman's rationale for open source is similar to the "right to repair" debate, but in reality what's sought is for the government to force private companies to make it easy to modify the products they sell. The actual "right to modify" is already there - you already have a right to try, the company is under no obligation to help you though. But then it all gets complicated when these supposedly "private" companies have government support (which is also effectively communism). So it's all Jews vs. Jews - they've already won against us and are now just infighting to have their way. In an actual free market, the right to repair/modify debate is moot as a competing product which made it easy for people to modify it would emerge if it were actually valuable. There's probably nothing wrong with open source for drivers, firmware and tools, but Stallman's view is significantly broader. I am tired of the Jews' big ideas.
