Power to you. I respect your stance, but as you said we live in a world of nuance, and this absolutism is incompatible with how the world works. It can work /for you/, in a vacuum, because you can selectively accept the tradeoffs. It also used to work for me! I've been in tech long enough to have been through what you're doing, and I have stopped doing it because at some point, it crippled my ability to effect change on the world. And I'm not interested in living in my bubble of free software a la Stallman. I'm interested in making the bubble larger. I can't do this from inside the bubble. (Email me if you want to continue this convo and chat a bit, I'd be interested)
