What is the basis of Free software and Open Hardware movement?

It is all about starting to Think Like a Commoner and in-fact becoming a commoner by enriching, strengthening and protecting the Commons. In case of this movement, it is very specific to Digital Commons.

Beyond commons, the movement should also focus on Digital Literacy in order to achieve the following,

  1. bridge the gap of Digital Divide.
  2. educate computer, smartphone and Internet users about their Right to Privacy.
  3. demand for transparent, publicly available glass-box systems and algorithms instead of non-transparent, closed black-box systems and algorithms in governing our municipals, cities, districts, state and nation. Eg: The source code and hardware designs of Electronic Voting Machine can be made transparent and public. Using transparent and participatory systems like DeciDim, etc.,

The above objectives cannot be achieve without commons, therefore commons is the basis of this movement.
