In other words, the reason that you want us to only be distributing

If not, maybe you could be a bit more specific?

And, apparently, you think free software should be a higher priority
than our users?

I'm still not clear on why you think that's a good idea.  [I understand
that you've dismissed some arguments which would indicate that that's
a bad idea, but that's not really a reason.]

Thanks,
