Ignoring that Free Software is in fact used commercially everyday, it is important to realize that certain freedoms must be restricted in order to preserve overall freedom. Like how your freedom to locate your fist is constrained by the location of my chin. Or how your freedom to stuff a ballot box is constrained by the preservation of a just, fair, democratic election.
