schestowitz__> In what ways, if any, do people consider it feasible for the Right ToApr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> Repair and Software Freedom groups collaborate on the specific areasApr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> where there is overlap?  If this has been discussed before please pointApr 30 02:51

schestowitz__>Apr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> I've listened to a recent monologue and a short documentary on the RightApr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> To Repair [1] and it seems that there is an area of overlap between theApr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> Right To Repair movement and the Software Freedom movement.  There are,Apr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> of course, areas where they diverge since they focus mostly on hardware,Apr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> but where they do overlap, there could be some collaboration becauseApr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> proprietary software is becoming a greater and greater factor inhibitingApr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> modding and even basic repair.Apr 30 02:51
schestowitz__>Apr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> One example which involves components familiar here is aboutApr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> refurbishing used computers.  Some years ago, company which has beenApr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> long-term problematic for the public, went after a recycler [2] andApr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> caused him a lot of legal difficulties for refurbishing old systems.Apr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> Perhaps, he could have avoided the trouble by focusing on Free/Libre,Apr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> Open Source Software (FLOSS) instead.  Maybe not.  But either way, theApr 30 02:51
schestowitz__> choice of FLOSS would have been better for him and his customers inApr 30 02:52
schestowitz__> other ways.Apr 30 02:52
schestowitz__>Apr 30 02:52
schestowitz__> Other examples involve the software within ice cream machines and farmApr 30 02:52
schestowitz__> equipment and the abuse of the ostensible owners via the proprietaryApr 30 02:52
schestowitz__> software embedded in the machines.  The software in both categories isApr 30 02:52
schestowitz__> set up so that the owner of the machines has very little control overApr 30 02:52
schestowitz__> the machines themselves, especially in regards to modding or repair,Apr 30 02:52
schestowitz__> because they have no control at all over the software controlling theApr 30 02:52
schestowitz__> machines.Apr 30 02:52
schestowitz__>Apr 30 02:52
schestowitz__> Clearly in those categories, the right to repair proponents wouldApr 30 02:52
schestowitz__> benefit from the Four Freedoms.  Likewise, the Software FreedomApr 30 02:52
schestowitz__> proponents would benefit from being aware of and eliminating theApr 30 02:52
