@cwebber There’s really two kinds of free software packages: those that encourage users to learn and become peers, and those thought as “products” delivered to “end users”.

Both are free software legally speaking, but only the former are liberating.

@civodul @cwebber my question is..what about those of us who use Linux, like OSS, but can’t program worth a damn. How does that fit in? Sure as heck can’t really be a peer, but also, end user is something that is also not appealing lol.

I did however convert my developer partner over to Linux ::evil laugh:: 😈

@addie @civodul @cwebber your partner is your code monkey, and you're the project manager. Even if you're not going to write any code, reviewing other's changes can be a great way to gain literacy in it: the free software world is not just fingers.
