What\u2019s their logic? Their logic is that software as a service is becoming the way of the world. Since nobody ever gets any software anymore, the licenses that say \u201cif you give people software you have to give them freedom\u201d don\u2019t matter because you\u2019re not giving anybody software. You\u2019re only giving them services.\n  <br><br>\n  Well, that\u2019s right. Open source doesn\u2019t matter anymore. Free software matters a lot because of course, free software is open source software with freedom. Stallman was right. It\u2019s the freedom that matters. The rest of it is just source code. Freedom still matters and what we need to do is to make free software matter to the problem that we have which is unfree services delivered in unfree ways really beginning to deteriorate the structure of human freedom.\n  <br><br>\n  Like a lot of unfreedom, the real underlying social process that forces this unfreedom along is nothing more than perceived convenience.\n  <br><br>\n  All sorts of freedom goes over perceived convenience. You know this. You\u2019ve stopped paying for things with cash. You use a card that you can wave at an RFID reader.\n  <br><br>\n  Convenience is said to dictate that you need free web hosting and PHP doodads in return for spying all the time because web servers are so terrible to run.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/isoc-ny.org\/?p=1338\">More info + Q&amp;A<\/a>, and a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.softwarefreedom.org\/events\/2010\/isoc-ny\/FreedomInTheCloud-transcript.html\">full transcript<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m not suggesting it [Facebook] should be illegal.
