Of Open Source software, sure - that's what all of your above arguments are about. If the software is OS, then it can be made sure, by the community in a very pirate-like way, that it does not contain malicious code or invade privacy. However, in this case - as in all others - the "four freedoms" are the means, not the end as you try to imply.<br>
