If I understand correctly, the idea here is that including a wrapper 
that allows a user to access non-free software is somehow a bad thing.  
However, if you don't allow the wrapper users are NOT able to access the 
non-free software.  This seems to infringe on the user's right to choose 
and therefore is a suppression of freedom.

Just a thought.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure 
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, 
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this 
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
