I'd be open to a higher ground. However, what we've been hearing
is an invitation to give up our principles because:
1. We don't have a right to say what is free software and what's not
because other people might not agree.
2. We would be more popular if we stopped insisting on our idea of free
software.
Obviously, this is all a load of hooey.
