Every movement has ethics and principles, and it promotes them.
Of course. But nobody can promote illogical principles by means of
logics. You must appeal to emotions. Maybe I missing something, but I
can't see this approach in FSF advocacy. It's like to use a spoon
instead of a hammer. It's ineffective.
Most of the free software programs (being licensed under GNU *GPL), a
lot of free software programs which are donated to the GNU project, and
Trisquel and other free system distributions are the results of FSF's
activism. Ethics are ethics, campaigning them can be effective or
ineffective. And considering the amount of software developers who use
GNU licenses, donate software to GNU and develop FSF-endorsed systems,
their campaigning seems effective to me.
Every animal strives for freedom
REALLY?? O_O How about the whole story of domestication of dogs? If
every animal strives for freedom, then domestication is impossible.
Every dogs loves freedom. Put one in a leash and then unleash him. You
will see the difference in his attitude.
And by the way, how about ants?
Collaboration, specialization and hierarchy are features of every
community/society, even the free software community and the human
society. Don't confuse these with slavery.
If you believe otherwise ..
I believe otherwise and I don't want to do it. Why? Because I can't
see any benefits in these specific situations.
You can find benefits in each of the three described situations: lack of
responsibility being in prison (you can use the lack of mobility in your
advantage, avoiding a lot of responsibilities), convenience for using
proprietary software which do the job, and lack of responsibility and
stability being a slave to other human being. Freedom is above all,
nevertheless people choose immediate benefits over long-term freedom.
It's because they are reckless and act before they think, not because
freedom is not a cause worth to fight for and reject benefits when you
are denied your freedom.
