I remember a big argument in the early years of Android. Google kept promoting it (to the users) as a liberating "open source" OS - except it only worked that way until it reached the manufacturers and carriers. After that, completely locked down, and often with many pre-installed annoying things on it. So next time another company promotes "freedom" and "open source" let's make sure it actually directly benefits the user.
