"Dupe people"? The situation is totally clear. If people want to develop
for them, they can, knowing that their work will get used in a semi-free
program. (Note the amount of work that went into BSD before it was freed
from AT&T license entanglments, and probably before that was even
thought of. They, too, knew what they were doing.) It's the developer's
choice. 

I also find it very weird to tell someone that they should make closed
programs instead of semi-free ones.
