 Within this article we want to describe the logic failures many projects from the sphere of free and libre software are following and especially why Hyperbola do not and will not include or even mention further projects. Aside of we do not include a list of projects as this article is meant as generic description of fallacies. Within this article we want to describe the logic failures many projects from the sphere of free and libre software are following and especially why Hyperbola do not and will not include or even mention further projects.

-First of all we will use the idiom "freedom is not obvious there granted" as figurative meaning and expression also within this article. We also do not recognize "common sense" with the wording "obvious" as **freedom** can be defined throughout successive approximation and therefore scientific accuray, not with appealing some "common beliefs" or - as we underline here - myths people just accept as given. Therefore we want also to underline as others that free, libre software and culture is in a shape of crisis. We do not intend to get this mentioned idiom into misconception also. The conception of **freedom** as ultimate ratio for democratic participation and expression for every individual being is coming with a responsibility: Democracy and freedom are not some obvious things always existing, not coming also for everyone as "individual advantage". They are not responsible to make anything better individual, they are meant to be for everyone the same and we as global society have to work for so they can be kept for the future. Democracy and freedom are meant for making the whole social living better, meant to grant participation and rights for every being, not only for some or some advantages likewise people think. We have to work on and for it daily, inclusive as democrats and not as ignorant individuals!+First of all we will use the idiom "freedom is obviously not to be seen granted and given" as figurative meaning and expression also within this article.

 **But what is this "freedom"?** **But what is this "freedom"?**
  
 The wording is seen for every individual different, sidewise when reading this article. We refer to "freedom" most time with the **[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Free_Software_Definition#The_Four_Essential_Freedoms_of_Free_Software|four freedoms]]** defined for the "free, libre software"-movement. So to underline: When we stop evaluation of freedom, of critical points giving risks, we do not only endanger ourselves and question therefore elementary rights every being deserves. Democratic values are vanishing, when we stop asking questions, stop debating, when we only agree with darkness surrounding us as this is the logic fallacy following up when no questions are asked, information, facts and science are turned into false beliefs and myths. We need to learn, same as we need curiosity and therefore also each other to follow approvals of each other in critical perspectives. The wording is seen for every individual different, sidewise when reading this article.

 +<note important>**Freedom** and **democracy** are not just words coming by default into existence. If we really want to value them, we also need to do work to fulfill their meaning. Same alike free software itself as part of: If we want to value free software, we need to engage with and in it. Not just to think free software coming by default into existence, because some people are doing willingly work for others and do not need anything in return. Altruism is part of free software surely, but to value **freedom** and therefore free software, we need also engage on many ways. And in the same way we also need to engage in **democracy**, as it is not there for our own advantage. If we want both to persist, free software to persist, we have to rethink our stance daily.</note>
