If doing nothing is neutral, then doing nothing when someone needs help is neutral.
Yes, I have to agree with you: doing nothing when someone needs help and I am able[1] to help is non-ethical.
So if we don't package and distribute non-free package, we act in a non-ethical way, as we are able to do it, and there is people who find this helpful.
Yes, but if we reject to distribute non-free because we are busy with creating a free replacement or with working on/packaging of other free software we are acting in very ethical way without necessity to compel ourselves to actions which lead to described non-ethical situation.
