No, you state that "They like to pretend that it's all proprietary
software, that it doesn't even come close to free, that source-code
isn't available." That is demonstrably false.
The fact that I disagree with you about the gravity of the non-freeness
of various non-free licenses does not mean that I am oblivious to the
fact that various licenses exist, or the differences between them.
