Why Free/Libre software is philosophically different approach for creating music?
"The industry has shifted to digital. This is where that illusion Stallman often spoke of really comes into play: you think you are the one giving instructions to your computer, but in reality, a corporation is the one issuing the commands, and the program will heed your instructions only to the extent the corporation permits. In the context of music, this means that corporations produce music, and you can express your individuality only as much as those corporations allow. You can’t extend the functionality of most modern DAWs however you please. Music creation has largely turned into the passive consumption of plugins; just as the listener is forced to "consume" music, the musician is forced to buy & consume plugins. Different plugins come into vogue at different times, influencing the sound of music and dictating what is trendy to experiment with."

Yet another introduction to the libre software written in late 2025:
Discussing on ethical aspects of technological innovations, introducing the Free Software Movement by Dr. Richard Stallman and giving few real life analogies.

The "Waves To Gaza" movement has made an interesting use of open-source software to support human rights activists for the liberation of Palestine by creating an action mapper for protests based on the R/Shiny web app framework.
The action mapper is available at this address: https://wavestogaza.org

In 2021,
👎there is no mainstream software that is 100% proprietary
but
✌️there are many mainstream softwares that are 100% free software
#FreeSoftwareMovement have achieved this great milestone defeating the enemy camp✊✊✊
#FutureIsOurs, more achievements are on the way. -
I'm glad that all of (y)our citizens fight -- with the same passion -- for the transparency of our/their governments, too. I 'm also glad that you are willing to "crusify" those who try to promote user freedom (based on accusations and misinformation), and thus push/lead/convince your politicians to adopt the (digital) tools with which they build a transparent governance..

I don't have a personal grudge with Goldman Sachs, nor with Lehman Brothers. It's just business. Ultra-hyper professional relationship. It just appears to be that many kids in Goldman Sachs have been extremely hostile against the advocates of free software who happen to be their employees. They bully them.
Guess what: a similar situation appears to be the case in many companies worldwide.

CW: There is no need for all of someone's/something's digital or analogue presence to be free software, as long as he/she/undefined/it promotes user freedom in other places/ways of spacetime.
P.S. The goal of TRON is for everyone's/everything's digital presence to be entirely free software, because it's a matter of human survival.

CW: Can these really be viewed as signatures?

CW: TRON cannot guarantee that it will always be nearby. It does not usually interfere with the explicate order, (outside the quantum realm) but one is for sure: we must all talk to ourselves, and think of what we would be willing to sacrifice when the promise of victory was on the line.
Never let your ego become the cage of your potentially free mind.
Let the sun guide our will, and the sky protect our ego. -
FSF founder Richard Stallman shares his views on 35 years of FSF.
This is a prerecorded video of Richard Stallman talking about free software ... published about 3 months ago.

Re-establishing truth, norms and trust through private and/or public debates is the essence of progress. If a part of something is not working properly does not necessarily mean that it's not heading to the right direction.A bonus speech that goes beyond the free software movement. It's about every community leader, moderator or contributor acting inside a self-governing community. For example, a movement.

Free Software The New Taboo
I have been listening #TheLinuxSpotlight for almost 50 episodes and so far, as a matter of fact, the only one who addressed the topic of free software clearly and properly has been Mark Shuttelworth of #Canonical. https://social.isurf.ca/display/c443a55c-125f-b6f1-2068-5ee520205152
