1. Freedom matters
2. Freedom Software matters
3. Good Freedom Software matters

So, let us make good freedom software.

While the above argument looks obvious, in the proposition 3. `Good' is
difficult to define.  Otherwise there is no problem. 

Would you like to attempt to define or provide parameters for a good
software, let us begin a new thread.

PS: The subject "Freedom matters - So does good software !!" may
mislead.  Good Software like Adobe Acrobat Reader doesn't matter for me,
if its doesnt provide freedom.  So what is good without freedom?
