The article says "In the pandemic time, our communications are being held via nonfree video conferencing software like Zoom, Google Meet etc.[1] Hosting video conferencing via nonfree software gives away control of our communications."
Indeed, that says Zoom is nonfree.
That text shows an example of a way of speaking I think we should try to avoid. The text says that "our" communications are done using these nonfree programs. That implies that "our" communications are done over nonfree video conferencing.
I hope we don't all do that. I at least don't do it. I have never used Zoom and never used Google Meet.
To say that "we" use the nonfree software suggests the idea that "It's inevitable, so we all surrender to it, of course." That encourages the readers to give in.
Let's tell people, instead, "We don't have to do this the unjust way. It is possible to resist!"
