How does systemd violate your freedom? It's LGPL 2.1 and, as far as I know, respects the four freedoms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Free_Software_Definition

If Emacs is an example of cathedral-style development, and Linux is an example of bazaar-style development, then Systemd is turnpike-style development, steamrolling ahead against all objections and the better interests of the communities they bulldoze.

That's not a violation of the LGPL, but it is a betrayal of the community it represents.
