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 can also engage on many ways.</note>+<note important>**Freedom** and **democracy** are not just words coming by default into existence.
