Whereas I’m just a little fruity.
What I mean is there are those people who believe all software should be free, and that under no circumstances should one use non-free software for any reason whatsoever. Whilst in some ways that’s an admirable position to hold, never using any software or hardware where the source code is not entirely free. Where “free” in this case means ‘free to use, modify and re-distribute without any restriction’. Most software for the Linux platform that I choose to use on my desktop and laptop is free, so falls into this category. I am able to look at the source, modify it and redistribute that software. There are many devices and services that I use however that are non-free.
