IMHO, statements like this merely give a wrong reason for the right
decision.
Free software development is not merely a `process'. It is a cause. It
is a belief. It is a state of mind. Freedom is something worth living
and breathing.
Freedom is your right. When you participate* in the Free Software
community, you are doing something to preserve your rights as an
individual.
(*) Participation can be in several ways - as a user, developer,
advocate, whatever.
