DESCRIPTION:With free software\, the users control the program\, both indiv
 idually and collectively. So they control what their computers do (assumin
 g those computers are loyal and do what the users' programs tell them to d
 o).\n\nWith proprietary software\, the program controls the users\, and so
 me other entity (the developer or “owner”) controls the program. So th
 e proprietary program gives its developer power over its users. That is un
 just in itself\; moreover\, it tempts the developer to mistreat the users 
 in other ways.\n\nEven when proprietary software isn't downright malicious
 \, its developers have an incentive to make it addictive\, controlling and
  manipulative. You can say\, as does the author of that article\, that the
  developers have an ethical obligation not to do that\, but generally they
  follow their interests. If you want this not to happen\, make sure the pr
 ogram is controlled by its users.\n\nFreedom means having control over you
 r own life. If you use a program to carry out activities in your life\, yo
 ur freedom depends on your having control over the program. You deserve to
  have control over the programs you use\, and all the more so when you use
  them for something important in your life.
