Software Freedom and Network Services

Improving the FSS

• Distinguishing between different types of network services, like Software as a Service. Wikipedia, for example is not Software as Service, but is a network service. Users who want to live in freedom should reject software as a service, and where possible they should develop free software to do the same job.
• Prioritizing different types of actions (not everything in the FSS is equally important)
• Making clear why certain actions make sense.
