Open source is a development model. Their priority is the production of
technically superior software(?) that the user(?) can leverage upon.
In the process of making the software more powerful(?), it is not(?) a sin in
the open source camp to add bits of proprietary software, including long
strings of numbers (Non-free binary blobs, to be specific.) in its kernel,
Linux.
They emphasize the convenience(?) the user(?) gets with such practice.
Such open source software is in fact, depriving its users their fundamental
human rights of freedom of computing and freedom of privacy.
But the sad fact is that even free software projects like VLC media player
developed by VideoLAN project uses the term open source in their official
website and in their user manuals.
