I'll sign up for deontology. The user has a right to learn from and improve their tools. If sapience has a purpose, that's a huge part of it, and I find this to be the main ethical argument the author neglected. I know some users don't care about this (they're honestly fine with doing only what the vendor supports) but I've never had much respect for that attitude, so I'm not moved to contribute to proprietary or non-copyleft work unless paid well.
