That's what we shouldn't do. The whole point is that most people can't be bothered. You can call that good or bad, but their use and distribution of free software is not governed by a moral stance. That is how things are. The point is, we are trying to change how things are, not just observe. Whether or not you take a moral stance does not imply that everybody else in the system does. Our mission is to lead them, not imitate them.
