"Similarly, the Linux community spends little time talking about freedom."

I dispute this assertion.

I believe that one of the main things that distinguishes the Linux community from that of other communities is that we talk a lot about freedom. I also believe that this is a group of people that nobody can really speak on behalf of the whole group, and yet almost everyone tries to anyway.

Crowd: "Yes, we're all individuals!"

Random guy in the back: "I'm not!"
