Upstanding and Free
What is important to me, an upstanding member of society, is the fact I have freedom to help myself as well as the freedom to live an upstanding life as part of a community. Proprietary software requires users to promise to remain helpless and divided. I value my freedom too much to accept such a promise. I value my friendships too much to accept such a promise. This is why I don't accept this promise and why I reject all proprietary software.
