The fight was always going against these monopolies.

In the UK with have OpenRightGroup to some extent the Greens. In the US EFF, FSF, SFC. In the EU ESFe, Pirate Party, Greens.

There are many groups fighting the political cause. They have had victories over the years, but winning the odd battle doesn't win a war. They all need support.

Until now, a lot of open source has tried to be nonpolitical, but that may be changing:
