I'd like to pile on and repeat this sentiment; thank you, Mo!

I really struggle to follow this reasoning. What about this way of
thinking does _not_ transfer to "classical" software? And why? Why isn't
what you're saying an equally good (or, I claim, bad) argument for
acceptance of classical software that is somehow derived from non-free
software? (An actual real-world example that springs to mind might be
so-called open source projects that start out with leaked source code
from e.g. a proprietary game).


 Best,
