Description (last modified by gustavo) (diff)

I often heard of misconceptions like these: 

Freedom?
Is it freedom not to be able to open that word document? No. Is it freedom not to be able to violate the GPL? No. Is it freedom that I can't get an effect I want by pointing and clicking (or at least I can't figure out how to do so properly)? No.
Freedom is empty if it doesn't solve "my" problems. End of story.

I think we should address such misconception in our "How to misunderstand Free Software" article.

This is very, very tricky =) I strongly doubt that we can address this properly.

Note that it is related to misconception #3: it should just only work.
