This whole chart should've been rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.

Wouldn't that put Bill Gates on the "freedom" side?

No, I mean the whole chart should be rotated, including the labels. I want "freedom" to be across the bottom and "proprietary" to be across the top, so that it matches "libertarian" and "authoritarian" on the political compass.

("Tradition" and "disruption" don't map to "left" and "right" quite as well, but if it were exact it would just be the political compass instead of just analogous to it.)

Ah, I get it now.
