This quote by Richard Stallman, the founder of the Free Software Movement and the GNU Project, highlights the underlying goal of the movement.

The essence lies in advocating user liberation rather than simply promoting specific software.

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now? Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.
