I often get mail from people who do support the free software
movement.  Those are the people who really "get it."

The people you're talking about do exist, but they evidently don't
support the free software movement.  We are not trying to cater to
them.  On the contrary, on the philosophical level we compete with
them.

I have a feeling that you've probably misunderstood the purpose
of NonGNU ELPA, but since you have not given specifics, I can't
really tell.
