I never argued against software freedom (or freedom in general) - quite the opposite. But I am disturbed whenever free software advocates paint freedom in one-dimensional terms. You can have hardware that is designed to compromise one of your freedoms, but simultaneously reinforce another. And you can often still utilise that hardware to empower the user, without any compromises. However the rhetoric keeps boiling down to "secure = locked down = non-free = evil". Thank you for the article.
