Uh, an arbitrary political decision wiping away all technical arguments
is what started free software in the first place.

The question is not whether the decision is political or technical.  The
free software movement is, after all, a political one.  The question is
whether it is the right political decision.  I am not convinced of that.

But your argument is putting the cart before the horse.  We should let
ourselves be directed by our goals, not by letting gravity take its
course at the place where we already are.
