Many years ago I used to say "help your neighbor" in freedom 2.  But
then I realized that the freedom to share software must not be limited
to people who are your neighbors.  Our community includes lots of
people we don't know, and that don't live near us.  Freedom 2 must
include more than just our neighbors.  It must include everyone.

So I switched to saying that freedom to is to help _others_.

Is there any place on gnu.org which still says "your neighbor"?
If so, please report it to webmasters@gnu.org so it can be updated.
