@mangeurdenuage ">proprietary software is morally justified"

If for no other reason than there's a whole bunch of fields where FOSS will never successfully tread, be it too difficult (CUDA for example, twenty years of work costing billions), too fiddly to get all the details correct, where that last 20% must be done, or the FOSS developers are just plain wedged (GIMP and YMCK last time I checked, or the user interface).

That last has too many examples to even give an idea of the scope, but a few right now:

• Mad Matt's WordPress rent seeking crusade (which will likely get solved in due course)
• RMS's dead hand crippling GCC and Emacs (half solved by LLVM)
• Team GNOME
• Team Wayland
• Lennart Poettering
• The existential threat of woke capture of FOSS

That you paint people's often free choices as worth of murder, and that you appear to have nothing of substance to actually say, tells us much more about you than the state of all this.
