The word "free" does not refer to price; it refers to freedom.

  1. The freedom to use your wife as you wish, for any purpose.
  2. The freedom to study how your wife works, and change her so she works for you as you wish, instead of her controlling you.
  3. The freedom to redistribute your wife to your neighbor.
  4. The freedom to distribute your modified wife to others. By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changed wife.

    Seems like what Dominique Pelicot considered his wife to be. Not an example I am willing to follow, I'll tell you that.

    I am the wife.

    Unrelated, why aren't there more women in Linux spaces? We'll never get to the bottom of it I fear. I haven't read the comments in this thread yet, I'm sure they're all completely uncontroversial.

    heteronormative assumptions

    You could still have a wife yourself, with whichever licensing agreement the two of you negotiate.

    because linux users are tech oriented, the market is barely touched by linux, and tech oriented people are disproportunately male/not cisgender women.

    Hannah Montana Linux can only do so much /s

    edit : added "not cisgender women." I really don't want to start a thing about this statement, it's to align with the pendant that replied to this post.

    We need more information to reach people. So far I've only seen people be into Linux when they have less social life growing up so they spend time online (not in tiktoks or such like now).

    Since most people hearing about Linux from class or other people only hear about the bad aspects or how hard it is if they even hear about it. When I came to US university, I was so surprised noone knew about linux or cared enough except handful of people. And most people did it for work (super computer people, grad students) that didn't like it and express their opinions openly.

    Um sure? As long as she is up for it. I love her, I don't own her. Keep it safe, sane, and consensual, then who am I to argue.

    When someone gives you that emotionless stare, it means not only is you comment not funny, it's not really socially acceptable.

    Linux users are not all male, or all straight, or single. Outside of incel groups, most groups aren't (probably even they have members who secretly aren't!) 😃
