Perhaps, but see the confusing claims... It is not about revenue, but about
wide distribution. It will cut off the revenue stream... etc.

The actual goal needs to be clearly definded before hand if there is to be
some sense to the whole. That said, people can do what they will.

I do know that libre != gratis. I was arguing for libre here. If on
re-reading
you find that is not so, I will try and restate correctly.

"For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that
treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward."

These can be difficult to sort out.
