coming in late here sorry, I think this rocks, and that it could be made even better by rethinking how it describes the things users use. At the moment it uses the word 'product' and that's fine for insiders, but to communicate to the world at large I feel another term might be better.
"Product" gets you caught up in markets or commerce, and my understanding here is that this manifesto is about the rights of the user in a much wider sense than just commercial offerings. Product Design and IxD etc are happy with the wider meaning of the word, but most of the world isn't (unfortunately commerce has co-opted the word product for its own) so, yeah.. I really like the direction, but feel it's a little constrained by its language. just had a thought: perhaps the lawyers at the EFF might have some examples of more generalized terminology...
