Amen! The amount of times I've been trying to explain free software to someone, and they've come back with "I'm not a programmer, so I can't read the source code anyway". It gets frustrating hearing that over and over.

But I still maintain that there's no point to something like LibreJS. Javascript isn't going to go away until something better comes along. That's where our energy should be focused. It's called picking your battles. Changing the entire Internet without offering any objective benefit, for a cause most people don't understand, is not one we're likely to win.
