Brainstorming on The Free Farm Manifesto

Hello Farm Hackers, I created the GNU Farm Manifesto as a Tool on Farm Hack with the following description:

In the spirit of The GNU Manifesto that layed out the mission for a set software tools that users have the freedom to modify, we lay the GNU Farm Manifesto here editable by the community to help define what software and hardware freedom means to us and our goals for achieving that freedom in the tools we use in agriculture.

I also added 3 sections to the wiki page for this Tool:

Let's Not Become Dogmatic

I'm a Stallman fan, but I also consider him a dogmatic partisan. He doesn't endorse "open source": https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html

"As the advocates of open source draw new users into our community, we free software activists must shoulder the task of bringing the issue of freedom to their attention. We have to say, “It's free software and it gives you freedom!”—more and louder than ever. Every time you say “free software” rather than “open source,” you help our cause."
