Hi Carsten, > I believe it makes a difference if the software is running on my computer or > not.
Can you elaborate on how that difference affect your freedom? From my perspective, you would neither gain nor lose freedom if the software runs on your computer or on a remote server. Where it runs feels completely arbitrary in respect to the freedom it offers. And to follow up, since I can anticipate one answer :-), you can decide what runs or what does not run on your computer. No one is forcing you to run priorietary JavaScript from Google or Facebook. You just need to stop using those services. When you accept to use a service, you also, implicitly agree to the conditions by which that service is offered. We can disagree with those conditions (and I do), but even if those conditions where not present, it would not affect my freedom (which is none, for those services).
