It doesn't matter to you whether or not you have access to the source code to the bowling alley machines you don't own. For the owner's sake, he should have bought free software compatible equipment, but it's not a crime against you, and it's no more limiting your freedoms than if they were free... for them

>These two issues are often confused ... For the [service provider's] sake, the programs [used for the service] had better be free; if they are proprietary, their developers/owners have power over [that aspect of the service]. That's unfair to the [service provider], and doesn't help the [service provider's customers] at all. But if the programs... are free, that doesn't protect the [service provider's customers...]

Oh wow, this is just Marxism and specifically communism applied to software.

It's okay to use machines you don't own which run nonfree software, if running the software on your own machine is implausible. Even if the software was free for the owners of the machines, it doesn't help you a bit

That's literally what free software is about
Your machine is your machine, not the makers of the software's machine

>>51517099
>I made the software on your machine so I get to tell you how to use your machine
>>
>>51517121
Actually they own the design of the machine and you just own the physical aspect of it. If the machine is of any sophistication, owning it means jack shit and you'd require their documentation and guidance to even use it and thus they own you as long as you use it.

Who's calling who communist?
>>
>>51517132
Nobody is telling you how to use the software, it doesn't have to be open source for you to use it. If you are failing at using it for tasks its not designed for, you are just retarded.

what its saying that service providers shouldnt use nonfree software because they wont be able to control it, while to the customers it doesnt matter if its free to the providers because that doesnt mean itll be free to them

It doesn't matter. Even if it was free software it could still be doing malicious things with your data.
