You might not have faced jail time, but you were certainly not free to redistribute modified copies of most software. You would be punished. Also, a much-overlooked aspect of free software, and one which is directly relevant to the "freedom vs. capability" question, is that free software gives you the right to pay someone else to do the work. Someone who has capabilities that you do not.
