Re: [Trisquel-users] Beneficial Proprietary?

[onpon4]

It's great when anyone does good, but that doesn't excuse unethical actions  
like developing proprietary software. Even if the unethical actions had some  
part in their contributions, they are still unethical actions which should be  
condemned.

Consider the following situation: a slave owner helps slaves owned by others  
to escape, and sometimes frees his own slaves. While this person's assistance  
of slaves is good, it does not excuse the fact that he himself owns slaves,  
even if he uses those slaves to help the other slaves escape.
