Completely OUT OF TOPIC !

Keep your FALSIFIED political opinion for yourself, notably because there
are many antimarxist users that still love the brave GNU World, and are not
adorned to the "romantic bliss fantasy" but live in a real world where
business is valid.

The spirit of GNU is not to kill the commerce but instead to promote it
based on the effective value of services really given by those comparing,
proposing or selecting, using, and distributing software solutions, or
helping others to do that, or expanding their functionalities to meet user
expectations, instead of blindly selling many copies of some old IP right
without effectively working on it. And it is also to expand the competition
between software providers, and offer more alternatives to end users, so
that they can adapt everything they buy the way they want andwith who they
want (this does not mean that this will be free).

You are really confusing "free as a beer or as gratis" and "free as in
freedom or liberty", a confusion that is typical of English, but not in most
other languages (including French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch...). The FSF has
constantly repeated that this confusion was detrimental, and that it wanted
to promote FREEDOM as the first goal to achieve.

If you don't like FREEDOM, then go to a Marxist world. This is not the world
of GNU.
