It is not easy to understand freedom. Most people think it is a question of
better and cheaper software. Depending on your audience, they will value
several things that freedom offers: auditability, modification, access to
knowledge, privacy, shareability, promotes building of knowledge
colaboratively, independence from supplier, free market of goods and
services, etc.
