This looks like a miscommnuication to me.

What I see here is a disagreement about basic premises -- goals and values. I think you recognize that disagreement but Göktuğ doesn't yet. Göktuğ, I suggest reading ttps://gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html to see what our goals and values are. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
