Linux zealots love to claim that the applications they promote grant freedom from major proprietary software developers like Microsoft (or Micro$oft as they say).
A vast majority of this software is in the alpha development stage, meaning it is not usable for everyday use. Despite that, Linux zealots are willing to push it onto everybody.
If you are looking at “software freedom”, what would you consider over the other? “Freedom” or usability? Surely, you want a working computer. The supposed freedoms don’t really exist in the alpha-stage software because that tool is mostly unusable and buggy, which makes the supposed freedoms moot.
(Originally FreedomForUnusability™ but is unusability even a word?)

FreedomFromUsability?
It also underlines the fact that loons don’t need freedom FOR anything – they come up with their definition of freedom and call it human^W software right without actually trying to describe the purpose of that “freedom”. Thus no “for” – just “from”.
