Why do you miss the most possible scenario.
Why Free Software Movements (FSM) shows interest in software freedom? The same may be the reason for progressive political forces too.
Is there any rule that only FSMs will have good intention with their activities on software freedom ? As software freedom is part of larger freedom that will lead to social empowerment and further to achieve social and economic equality, collective decision-making, and public control of productive capital and natural resources. Hence it is natural that progressive political parties are more concerned with software freedom than anyone of the FSM.
We may better realize it and co-operate with them for the same rather than going for baseless allegation against them.
