My experience — this thread being no different so far — is that such discussions always end up in absolutist terms (moral and otherwise). It’s almost a defining quality of the FLOSS movement, from what I can tell. Ultimately, such positions are neither realistic, nor productive, nor particularly interesting to me (or many other people I know). I don’t grow my own food, because buying my food — even the organic food I purchase regularly, in person, from farmers I know by name — is not only more convenient, but also cheaper and more freeing than growing, harvesting, and processing it myself. That freedom allows me to do other things that are more important to me, like composition, and using Lilypond to engrave my compositions, instead of heading out at 5AM to feed and milk my cows before the hard 16-hour day tending my subsistence crops. I don’t put convenience above all; I make choices that make sense to me and those around me, in my real-world life.
