Without the mention of FOSS, these types of pro-market "solutions" will always end up dead in the water.

This is not just a matter of competition for its own sake. This is about guaranteeing users the fundamental right to technological self-determination, a right that corporate monopolists will not yield willingly. This is nothing less than empowering users to seize the means of computation.

Can't have tech self-determination if everything's a black box controlled by corporate entities.

He can't be a libertarian because he does not worship money or scamming. Also, Microsoft dug through his whole life to find something to discredit him and if this completely blown-up story is the worst thing they found... well they could probably find worse things in the history of more than half of americans.
