Exactly! My three favourite points about open source:

- Transparency

- Knowledge sharing

- Repairability (hackability)

I see those as what I hope will one day be seen as essential consumer rights regarding software they purchase: The right to know it, the right to understand it, and the right to improve it.

I like the example given in the RMS essay: open source DRM. You're free to improve your shackles.
