I'm afraid I don't understand your point. I'm not sceptical about free software. I support it quite strongly and do what I can for it. However, when conducting a Python conference or promoting the language itself, I'm okay with non free software written in Python. I'm okay with non free IDEs for example if they're for Python. The society was created to promote the language and the the conference. Not free software. The overlap of the communities is a pleasant coincidence.
