If no one discussed the value of software freedom on proprietary platforms then (hopefully) we’d be preaching to the choir here.

Linux has proprietary binary blobs in it. If any part of a software is proprietary then even if most of it is free why wouldn’t people call “Linux” proprietary? Libre Linux removes those blobs.

Although Plex is running on your server it isn’t there to do what you want… unless Plex’s real owner permits it.

That’s how proprietary software works.
