PS. The study does not deal about data privacy which is against OSS
fundamentals.
Data privacy is actually encouraged. RMS actually called the SaaS model flawed
(though I don't fully agree) as we are giving control of our data to 3rd party
service providers and hence implies that we do not have full control (including
privacy). One of the reasons for FOSS is to prevent backdoors and hence boost
privacy.
FOSS is against proprietary software and not against data privacy. Simple and
obvious examples are personal data, medical history, financial data etc.
