The free software movement ins't the same as free culture because, while the Definition of Free Cultural Works and the Debian Free Software Guidelines want non-functional data to also give the essential freedoms[1] (and source files in a format used mainly by free software[2]), the free software philosophy sees that non-functional data must, at least, give the freedom to share original copies (this is half of freedom 2)[3][4][5], because the absence of such "half-freedom" can cause immediate moral dilemmas (note that the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines changes the requirements so as to require non-functional data to grant freedom 2 entirely[6], so people can sell the distribution as a whole). The following list isn't in the documentation so far, but the way I see it, the way I see the list of priorities, it's so far organized as such: Textile list hierarchy: #: Numerical. First is more important. *: Dotted. Equal importance. # For a free and just/fair digital society ## Free functional data ### Primary goals **** Educate society on the importance of the essential freedoms. **** Replaceable software. **** Scripts. **** Replaceable firmware. **** Color profiles. **** Spreadsheets. **** 3D models with shading logic. **** 3D models for purely practical uses (e.g.: forks, mugs, spoons, knifes). **** Text fonts. **** Things that are proven to have logical structure (e.g.: Frogatto[7], which is non-free). **** Documentations, manuals, tutorials (could be text, video, audio, image, or anything else). **** Translations of other functional data. **** Client-side JavaScript. **** Avoiding services as software substitutes. **** Redistributing content using file formats and codecs used mainly by free software (this is different from "open standards" or "open formats" because there are some which aren't used by free software). ### Secondary goals **** Software in secondary embedded processors. **** Hardware designs. **** Denying content redistributed using file formats and codecs used by non-free software. ## Shareable non-functional data *** Images (as long as they don't document functional data). *** Videos (as long as they don't document functional data). *** Texts (as long as they don't document functional data). *** 3D models for decorative purposes. # Side-objectives ** Free cultural works. ** Security. ** User-friendliness. ** Accessibility (I feel guilty for putting this here). ** Privacy. ** Decentralization. This list is my personal views, and of course, this list might change in the future.
