it suddenly occurs to me that the free software movement is an extremely inept attempt at a strike. the idea of copyleft is that you attach conditions that preclude profiteering users of the output of your labor from performing certain actions that you view as objectionable, in order to maintain equitable access to the means of production. but of course this is such a roundabout, convoluted and ineffective way of doing this that open source garbled it into meaninglessness immediately
