Free as in … ? My LibrePlanet 2016 talk

Interesting talk by Luis Villa pointing out that freedoms are not enough, but we have to aim for empowering people to have capabilities to exercise those freedoms.

An example of this can be found in free software where just a freedom to run a software is not always enough because it does not address that many people cannot do much with such an abstract freedom. We should build software which gives people capability to run them.
