I can make an proprietary emacs package without using any free software.
I just cannot use code released with a free software license.

My statement is quite different.  Having emacs cater to proprietary users is a poor decision.
But people can do what they want.

Pragmatically speaking, focusing  your mind on the freedom and community and thinking
about greater long-term goals will strengthen you to resist this pressure.

School Administrators around the world should stop requiring students to run non-free software.
If hard-nosed cynics ridicule freedom because in their mind unjust profit is the only purpose,
ignore them.
