Many of the Luddites' issues were taken up by Marx.

I wonder if, and how, the analogy would play out with AI.

Free software, even if not open sourced, is putting the means (and memes) of production into the hands of the workers.

I don’t think non open source software fits the FSF definition of free software

And that's why I added the clause, this is a case where I think gratis is more important than libre — when it comes to putting the means of production into the hands of the workers.
