GNU, GPL, Open Source Today I'm going to talk about why software - any software, all software - actually matters, what the different types of software are, and why you should care about its properties (no matter who you are, or what you do).

"However, these kinds of articles don't help the cause any. They only make the cause look more desperate than it actually is. It's like the little guy in the back of the room flailing his arms saying look at me, I matter, why isn't anybody looking at me... "

I guess this shows your viewpoint as just being different. You perhaps don't value these freedoms as much since they are somewhat subtler. If subtlety is not your thing, which appears to be the case judging by your bold attitude of conquering just like Microsoft, then I can well understand why you would think this is a big mountain when it should be a molehill. I think it takes a greater depth and sensitivity to recognize the importance of these kind of issues.
