I think most software should be at least semi-free. You can read the source code and distribute changes but you can't redistribute the software (code and binaries) without approval from the author (i.e. paying them).
Basically I want people to be free and able to fix and improve what they paid for.

Long gone are the days you could tinker with your machines and appliances, fix your problems, replace oartd, hack together improvements, or simply take it apart to show your kid how it works. Okay maybe not long gone but certainly on the way out. Appliances and computers and even cars are getting ever more encumbered in terms of being able to fiddle with them, both physically but above all in terms of software.
