# We're Better Together: Why Free Software needs cooperative hosting
|
|
|
|
To reach its liberatory potential, the Free Software movement needs LibreSaaS and an embrace of cooperative principles.
|
|
|
|
Free Software has always been first and foremost about an ethical imperative: to respect the freedom of people using the software and the right of all people to learn from the shared knowledge embedded in software.
|
|
|
|
But this has not been enough, as shown both by the continued vitality of proprietary software and the prevalence of the amoral 'open source' framing in Free Software.
|
|
|
|
One part of this is we need to accept a new, unambiguous name, such as Libre Software, or Liberatory Software.
|
|
|
|
The bigger part is living up to such a new name by empracing the need to expand our ethical considerations for software to its real-world impacts.
