Defending business

Libervis.com as a portal into the "Digital Freedom Movement" which will be our new slogan can serve many varying purposes at any time, depending on the issues that we take on with our content. All of these purposes would fit in the bigger picture of defending and propagating freedom in a digital realm.

Lately, one purpose that I am finding important to pursue on Libervis.com is offering balanced views and dispersing common misunderstanding about many things, such are common misunderstandings of the goals and motivations behind the Free Software movement.

That said I've had an idea of which the implementation may not be at all hard. We could build the image of our voice as one which defends business. There are a lot of people in a largely business oriented world who are usually attracted by the mention of "business", especially those who strive to accomplish something through their own small business ventures.

In the process of defending business we do the following:

• We disperse the common misunderstanding of a Free Software movement as a movement against corporations, commercialization and businesses.
• We propagate the message which presents Free Software movement not as anti-capitalist, but as pro-original-capitalism. We say that Free Software movement is really about restoring the Free Market (where every party has the freedom to participate without facing the obstacle of someone's monopoly over code and information). In that sense, we defend business by fighting to preserve opportunities for small businesses to flourish rather than being swept away by monopolies.

I think this message is still not heard often and loud enough, despite the existence of GNU/Linux corporations such as RedHat. Some people still perceive the word "free" in Free Software as gratis. Some people still see FSF as some sort of an anarchist or even communist organization. We need to blow these beliefs out of the sky because they are so utterly incorrect. The opposite is true. Free Software Movement is saving capitalism from collapsing under its own corruption.
