Let be real, we all trade a part of freedom for something.
If you want true freedom, you should follow Richard Stallman.

I do follow him. I use AGPLv3 on all the code I publish. Stallman saw far into the future and predicted much of this decades ago.
There is a problem though: he talks about software freedom, not computer freedom.
Right now we can make free software ourselves and enjoy the freedom that brings, but the war on general purpose computing rages on and it threatens to invalidate all of our efforts. Free software is completely pointless if our computers start refusing to run it.
We need to enshrine computer freedom into law and literally ban stuff like remote attestation. We also need distributed computer manufacturing technology so that normal people can simply create their own free computers at home just like they can create free software at home.
