Maybe you are right, but there is perhaps a couple of things to notice:
- Quality: This is in my opinion a critical thing for free software.
If the quality is not good enough it will be a burdon to use free
software. This is a moral question then, especially since there are
still people that needs free software because of the cost.
- Future constraints: I think we should not forget about the
possibility of future restraints. All the evil attachs on the internet
gives arguments to restrict free software. I believe they will be
used. The way to meat that threat and protect integrity and freedom is
(again) quality.
