What are you so angry about? No one is talking about making it difficult for 
users to use "non-free" software. We're just trying to make it easy for the 
average user to protect him/herself legally. I haven't heard much of a 
mention of morals for a while. Most of the talk has just been about what 
would be the best defaults - BUT whatever is decided for the defaults it 
definately wont be difficult to change.

And what's with your concern about removing "immorally licensed" packages from 
portage? Only one person mentioned that and was even shot down by people that 
don't use "immorally licensed" software.
