I'll wager that you know what Mumia meant, but in case you're only
political grounding is historical--Right Wing is those who favour status
quo and business' rights and capitalism and often restrictions on
personal rights. So you are most definately Right Wing, as the DFSG,
which support personal rights; changing the way 'traditional software'
is developed; and is not business-associated; scares and irks you so
greatly. And, according to Wikipedia, the original Right Wingers
weren't Socialists, but rather Monarchists. Take that for what you
will.
