Let us not confuse matters. The fact is that, if the FS movement gets support from political parties, it becomes easier to implement FS ideas in the government -- migrating government systems to Free Software, adopting open standards, getting publicly funded work to be made available under some CC licence, bringing about Open Access in scientific communications and so on. That is in the interest of the FS movement. Free Software is about politics, but not about party politics. FS does not support or oppose any political party as such. We would like all political parties to support the FS movement, and we are thankful to those who support. And this is not for our personal or professional benefit. We believe that this is good for society. So all political parties that believe that Free Software is good for society should support the movement. It is good for them too. We believe it is good for everyone. So we try to convince the parties that they should support FS. Of course, each one of us will have, and should have, our own politics. That is a totally different issue.
