The difference between free software and proprietary is that
in the first case you get to choose your "experts". You can
even decide to become one. In the second case, only "experts"
approved by the vendor get to play.

I think it is a significant difference.

Does it make all the world good? No. And powerful vendors are
constantly finding ways to re-gain power over their users.

But we gotta keep trying :)
