Software
=======================================================================

I am very supportive of
[software freedom](http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html);
ensuring everyone has freedom and control of their own computing, by
protecting the right to freely use, study, modify and share programs.
One of the ways I support this goal is by working on free software,
some of which may be found in my
[public git repositories](http://git.njw.me.uk).

I reject the term 'open source,' which was created to
undermine the importance of freedom and collective welfare, and
recast free software as nothing more than an efficient mode of
production and profit.
