It's still unfair; in fact, it may be more unfair. Few authors of
the non-free software in Debian are either getting any money for
it, or asked for their code to added to Debian. How are those who
write code/programs and give it away (at no monetary cost to the
recipient), under a license you don't like, moochers? What do they
take that those who write no code (free or not) don't?
