Calling the fight for "free software" as defined by the FSF a matter of human rights is a bit of a stretch, eh?

The right to know what is running on the devices that control your life is a right, and we are humans.

Letting your devices control your life was your first mistake.

This is not about "your" devices. It is about all devices that control your life. Infrastructure, government, businesses all use devices that control your life.

No, it is about exactly what every other fight for human rights has been about: Having power over your own life.
