Its purpose is to create a first class free operating system, and
support the users of that operating system. We currently do that by
doing everything we can to support users needs; even if that means
distributing non-free software. Those concepts are explained in both the
social contract and the constitution, and aren't particularly ambiguous.
You're seeking to _change_ how we go about that purpose, not clarify
anything. There's nothing immoral in that, and in particular there's no
need to pretend otherwise.
