Point taken, but still it's adjacent enough that I think something or other should percolate here. And there should be some measure of shared interest all the same.
Eg, the Linux kernel is under the GPL and I don't see anybody really complaining about that. Pragmatism tells me that even if the philosophy isn't to your liking, the code works and you can often make use of it anyway.

It just doesn't stop where it would need to for people to be aligned with the FSF. People here, in the majority, whack on "ALLOW_UNFREE_PACKAGES" and just get on with it. Or install unfree OSes, or use unfree hardware. It's just not a focus at all.
