-Use [http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html Free Software] on your TPC to the maximum extent possible.  Free software provides you with auditable code, potential for customization for your particular usage patterns, and reduces the extent to which you can be "locked-in" to a vendor with whom you have no shared values or politics.
+Use [http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html Free Software] on your TPC to the maximum extent possible.  Free software provides you with auditable code, potential for customization for your particular usage patterns, and reduces the extent to which you can be "locked-in" to a vendor with whom you have no shared values, politics, or financial incentives.
 
 Free software also has the advantage that it usually has no explicit monetary cost.  This is a technical advantage, because it allows you to evaluate the tools before using them without risking a financial loss.  And it also offers a financial advantage if you commit to learning the tool, because you won't need to pay for the initial tool acquisition or upgrades.  These financial advantages are slight in comparison with the technical and political advantages of free software, because the majority of the cost of a tool is in your time spent learning how to manipulate it to do what you want quickly, reliably, and conveniently.
