> Is free software a lost cause? If we believe in things like right to repair, must we also believe in free software? I definitely think that the "right to repair" your software is a good idea, and access to the source code is required for this. However, this does not mean freedom to copy and distribute the software. I think the insistence on "True Free Software™" and "True Open Source™" is holding a lot of things back. Merely access to the source code (under any license) for the "right to repair" would already be an enormous leap forward, so let's start with that instead of also insisting on these other, IMHO less important, things.
