"(2) bringing 'freedom' to the masses"
The freedom is there, the masses have it available to them, the also have the choice to remain ignorant. We would be as bad as the monopolies if we started to try and force Govenment, or Joe Sixpack to use it. All we can do is make them aware that they do have alternatives.
"(3) Having linux reach the % of desktops for the tilting point and the benefits that come from it."
