You misunderstood.
Creating, using, distributing non-free does not make you immideately
non-ethical. It does not make you non-ethical later. It just compel you
to act non-ethical later, not always and not necesserelly.

One who make an ethical action and non-ethical later reduce the amount 
of good he does (by the amount of bad). By stopping to distribute 
non-free we will not increase amount of good. We will decrease the 
amount of bad.
