“Of course, nothing of all this is a critique to the GPL or to
the FSF (which has other goals than solve the general problems

extremely difficult for an ordinary person to enjoy the freedoms
promote by FSF. It is not a problem of demand but of supply. There
are no tools and practices that are accessible to the ordinary
person who cares about his or her freedom, not even for the most
sensitive parts of their computing or communications”
