You're implying that they should give up their competitive edge over the market so that they can help the world "tackle local and global problems around the planet". That sounds like you're saying they should give to charity and/or forfeit profit for some noble good. And yes, it's an attitude/opinion though it sounds like you're just nitpicking words. I'm not the OP you responded to, but it's clear your attitude/opinion towards this topic is that this software should be given away for free, with the sole reason for that being that it would "[do] more good". They invented it, they didn't steal it (presumably), and they're choosing to use that product of their intellect in a way that makes them profit. Heck, you could argue that they're already doing good by making it available to law-enforcers while still profiting. In which case your entire point is that they're not doing enough good according to your opinion.
