Social-left = liberal? I can't believe it. As a socialist it's not a
pleasure for me, to set equal with liberal ideology.

For socialism and communism you're right but libertarianism I don't
know, because they want no state and no collective control for
anything.

Yes and no, the FS movement might be liberal, but the GPL license says
the software must be free and liberal policy would says it can be free.
In Germany we would says it's social-liberal, but more left than right.

Yes
