I think your analysis of the situation is valid, more or less. However, I disagree with the ultimate suggestion that we focus our disapproval on "alienation" of programmers from their work. I think this would have two bad consequences: * It would appeal mainly to the personal interests of the programmer. This is more or less the same problem that the term "freegan" has, and more strongly. * It would imply advocating things that we ought to oppose, such as proprietary software distributed by the person who developed it. That developer is not "alienated" from per work, but it nonetheless subjugates all other users. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org) _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
