The Marxist philosophy is not solely and strictly pertaining to workers. There is a Marxist culture, living with a Marxist mindset or mentality, and living with a Marxist view of the world or trying to get the world to fall into a Marxist view and setting up society in a Marxist way.

You used the philosophy and objective of Marxism to say that the GPL is not Marxist.
To verify online sign up and not registering your number with an app or service, your only choice is to pay for a second number or not sign up at all.
Thevright to repair thing is wholly distnct from software. Right to reapir is for a physical hardware product. People bought something they can touch, they have full rights to repair it, otherwise people are only paying to use it but never fully own it out right.
Libre software is not better than proprietary software. I only care about open source software for the sake of security so I can do whatever I want with the code, I reject libre software like GPLv3 and stick to open source.
If you know the difference between a cracker and a hacker, I always got love for hackers. It's the crackers that cause so much misery. I'm a big fan if hackathons, as long as the discussions center around hacking and not get into personal digs.
I've noticed a trend that it seems to be end users that don't have a clue about computer science and software engineering from a programming perspective that got more stuck on licenses than the actual developers and hackers. I even believe there are wonderful devs and engineers at Microsoft, nVidia, and Google, who wod be happy to give away their code if there wasn't the stockholder reigning supreme over corporate management.
Until you learn code correctness, you can't understand the areas where Linux has horrible designing or programming. There's a reason why the top talent at Def Con completely gave up on trying to get into a default OpenBSD installation.
If you actively try to avoid software that is licensed under BSD or ISC, only Gnu's Marxist license, then that means you won't use OpenSSH or the security tools ported over from OpenBSD into both Linux and Android and will not use an operating system or programs that have been compiled with LLVM/Clang.
I prioritize system security, and for that I only care about open source and reject free/libre software due to all of its built-in political implications. But also defend the right for people to make proprietary software. I won't use it, but defend people's right to make it.
People must give up how they want the world to operate and deal with what is. For example, FSF is wholly incompatible with BSD and the 2 distinct cultures and views can never work together. They are both open source, but that's where the commonality ends.
It sounds like you have an idol worship for GNU with zero experience of UNIX/BSD culture in that they only care about code that works and not anybody's opinion.
That is where OpenBSD developerd sticks so hard to BSD and ISC licenses with a preference for ISC license because they don't care what other people do, they develop for themselves, and if people don't like the way it functons, don't use it, problem solved.
The problem with GNU/FSF people is they are excessively wrapper in what other people do through politicing and not enough time fixing their own code. Once GNU people develops an operating system in similar fashion to how each BSD are each their own complete operating system, then they can give their opinions. Until then, they should go away, stop with the software politics, and care a lot more about their own code.
There's an addendum, it depends on how Android is used. If a person gets everything from Play Store which means they logged in to a Google account, Android is disgusting compared to iPhone.
However if a person disables the various Google services and sideloads all of the apps, then yes, Android is superior to iPhone for privacy.
I think the only choice is Signal for practical purposes. There is no creating accounts, no scanning ID's, no invite link to chat. If they already know your number, there's nothing they need for you to contct you on Signal.
For people who I have their number, I will never ever acknowledge any other option than Signal because confused people don't end up making any choice. Only if they talk about servers and networks, then I will teach them network security. I say SimpleX F-Droid is king of them all, but for random people, I only mention Signal/Molly.
For the record, I will say that I am more willing to currently use Whatsapp than ever use Telegram. I can't speak to the cool features with Telegram because I hate it too much to register my number with them.
You get over yourself and if necassary you give them your phone number. Using whatever app is personal preference and you can choose to say yes or no to using saidapp, but random strangers don't care enough to obsess over getting someone's contact into. That's what number block is for.
Anyone who thinks if a stranger gets their number that stranger will now stalk them, that person is a delusional narcissist.
From doing network security, configuring server OS and software for security and privilege seperation, it seemed privacy was a natural growth out of doing system and network security.
