Making sure people have the option not to listen to your "speech" is not control over people's free speech.




It absolutely is.

When I buy a book, I don't want the government deciding in advance which paragraphs should be included, and which paragraphs people "shouldn't have to listen to". So I don't want it doing that with software either. It's the same thing.

You don't have to buy that book in the first place. The same way you don't have to use a piece of software.
