> If you want control over your workflow, a program with a stable extensions API will go a lot farther than a free software license. You underestimate the effect of other programmers having that freedom. Even without being a kernel hacker myself, I get the benefit of an OS that does not spy on me. That's why the freedom to redistribute modified copies is so key - the resulting ecosystem of free software is in many ways more important than the individual rights from which it results. So it's a mistake to think you don't benefit from the software freedoms, just because you individually don't exercise them.
