    I liked this discussion. However, I think both of you have different axioms. It’s a pro-socialism vs pro-capitalism debate.

    In capitalism, we need innovation to create new value. Or you can pollute water to sell water bottles which will have value now. It’s up to citizens to decide what to restrict that was publicly available or what to innovate.

    In socialism, the innovation is only happening where it needs to happen carefully planned and funded by the government.

    I’m rather socialist, so I’d defend it:

    Having a software with inability to modify is injustice, It’s the same as polluting a water to sell it. Even if we need to pollute the water to sell it, it doesn’t justify pollution.
