@diegoe I disagree. It's called "creative commons" for a reason. The concept of "commons" is one of the things people lost in early capitalism that forced them into labor. Commons meant that e.g. forests didn't belong to anyone and you could just take what you need. That meant a lot of freedom for peasants, especially women. With the destruction of the commons via enclosures, people were impoverished and forced to take up work, and women found fewer ways to be independent from patriarchy. Getting back commons can be anticapitalist and utopian in itself. Free software means every user has access to a feature without the need to pay and without the need to work for money to pay. So that's also why writing free softare is progressive politics.
