It's really nice to be able to use Sun's JDK, although it might be
slightly non-free.
It's really nice to be able to use qmail, although it might be slightly

The FSF, for some unknown reason, has chosen to create and use a license
that restrict users' rights in ways that the FSF previously found
unacceptable. If that's inconvenient for the users, it's the FSF's
responsibility, and only the FSF can fix the problem.
