Discussing how to replace a nonfree program with a free program (not "open source") is a useful thing to do.

However, talking about _using_ the nonfree program is a different thing. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
