Free and open source software is not all about "best utility for users". It's about freedoms being valued extremely highly; people self-select for being or not being the consumers of it.
- shawnz 6y agoWhat is a "freedom" is highly subjective. For example the GPL doesn't enable the "freedom" to create proprietary derivative products or tivoized products. Why is that better than the "freedom" to flash their firmware? It is just a matter of opinion.
