If only there was a person, maybe even an organisation, to preach [1] to people that proprietary software will respect their interests and freedoms temporarily at best...

Maybe they could even come up with a "Respects Your Freedom" certification program for hardware that won't screw you over.

This would achieve "freedom 4: The freedom to turn on the light".

Today, even my parents know that "you need an app to use this" is equivalent of "beware, you'll soon be screwed by this".
