Software and hardware with closed licenses/patents<br>
make you, the user, a product, and make the proprietor<br>
of that product the consumer. By closing their designs they<br>
prevent their competitors from being legally allowed to make<br>
a viable competing product. This gives the proprietor a<br>
monopoly on your consumership. An example of this is that the x86<br>
and arm architectures are closed, meaning no one is allowed to edit<br>
the design of the processors that go into your computer. This is what<br>
allows evil organizations to spy on and control your computer at any time.<br>
Consider supprting open designed products like riscv and GNU Linux. These<br>
respect your freedom of choice as a consumer that allow markets to behave<br>
competitively.<br>
