You /pol/ crossboarders keep calling free software left-wing and it simply isn't true. Many of its advocate organisations are and have thus strayed from their initial goals, but the concept itself is just about freedom from oppression and control by both governments and private industry.

It's like being free to work on your car – it has nothing to do with greater politics.

/pol/ loves free software, they just prefer MIT and BSD licenses over GPL which are all free software foundation approved licenses
>>
>>62250146
Really though? I regularly see /pol/acks speaking ill of Linux and FOSS in general because of the Marxist types who've taken an interest in them.

Someone even linked a thread calling Stallman a Mossad agent once lmao.

>it has nothing to do with greater politics
But that's wrong, you fucking retard.

Elaborate

>>62250278
That's called trolling / bait, and it's obviously successful because you're falling for it, OP.

It balances out. /pol/ doesn't understand politics, but /g/ isn't really very clued in about technology, either.

If they're not some braindead normalfag, they're just fishing for replies

The free software movement is inherently political. It's obvious if you look at it.
>>
>>62250814
This. I can get behind the FOSS business model and love hobbiest software production, but full freetarded people like stallman are fucking nuts and either a cult leader or shilling politics or both.

Sure it's political, but only in the context of software. It's not pro or anti free market, and it certainly isn't biased one way or another when it comes to identity politics.

If someone told me that comment was just a bot combining random words found on /g/, I'd believe it.
