Gregory's ServerWelcome to @Mastodon and the #fediverse! Are you aware of the rights you should have over software?
You should be allowed to:
• Use a program for any purpose - without any restrictions on place and time 🌍
• Understand the full code – and know exactly what it does 🔍
• Share and copy the program – developers can collaborate and share publicly their improvements 🎁
• Improve the code – e.g. for personal or local needs 📝 (1/4)
Proprietary software intentionally limits the way a program can be used or accessed as well as the rights over the code. This leaves society with little or no say over its technical infrastructure.
Control over technology has to be in the hands of the whole society, not just a small group! (3/4)
