Open source is freedom in the digital age

Open source was actually the most important idea of our generation. If the founding fathers were around today, I think they would be open source advocates.

As more and more of our lives are influenced and actually controlled by the software we use, if we don't have fundamental freedoms attached to that software, we're not truly free.

You don't have freedom unless you're building on open source. Even if I grew devil horns and became evil, WordPress would still belong just as much to you as it would to me.
