In the hallways at #FOSSY there was a lot of talk about the religiousness of the #FreeSoftware community, and how it's kept people out.

I've turning that over in my mind in the months since then. The problem isn't the religiousness, it's who it's directed at.

The advocacy focuses on convincing users they should use Free Software, and the community says it's a sin if you use nonfree software.

But that's not the sin. The users of nonfree software aren't the sinners, the *authors* of it are.
