Obviously, we are saying the same thing: there are (and should be) laws that limit what you can do on your computer, and within those limits, you can do what you want.
There is a distinction between laws limiting what you can do in general, whether with computer or not, and attempting to control what happens on the computer even when no other laws are being broken. I believe you may be unintentionally blurring that line.
To wit, the specific example you and I are discussing, is running open source software on a computer you own.
