I don't like it =/. It sounds like we are 1850s abolitionists trying to
free slaves. I think most of us would have been abolitionists in the
1850s, but that's beside the point. It sounds like we are pro-capitalist
philosophers at the time of feudalism, trying to free people who are
repressed.

That goal is not necessarily disjoint from Snowdrift's, but it's at best
tangentially relevant, at least to our immediate goals. IMHO, it is
rather misleading. I haven't been following the discussion, so I haven't
seen the criticisms of "clearing the path to a free/libre/open world",
but I vote we stick with it.
