Now we come to the Developers community. This is the first line without whom the swatantra software movement cannot kick off(And yes, the long-term goal should be to liberate the swatantra software movement from the developers community).

We need to constantly enlist the help of non-free-software developers as well and get them to also contribute to the Movement.
