@bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org @tusharhero@mathstodon.xyz When I mentioned distributions I was talking about the big ones like #Ubuntu, their website is full of logos of multi-billion-dollar companies. #OpenSource is mentioned 14 times, but it doesn't even mention the word free, let alone freedom (or #GNU of course, even though it admits to be "more than #Linux"). I'm not even claiming that they don't care about #SoftwareFreedom, but it doesn't seem to be a priority. [6/8]

Β«Our Mission

This supports my point. Billionaires, like Mark Shuttleworth will use whatever terminology they like, and they have the power to coopt terminology to their own ends trivially.

The response must be about
ideas. Yes, ideas must be well expressed in words, but there is no pithy shortcut to convincing people #SoftwareFreedom is a human right.
