If the goal of the GNU project is to eliminate non-free software, why
should it help you, or anyone else in finding such software?  You can
find it on your own, nobody is stopping you -- but why should the GNU
project or projects under its umbrella who have their main goal of is
getting rid of such software work against its own goals?

   You are saying those programs are breaking the law?

The GNU project policy is to not legitimizes non-free software, what
the law says is irrelevant here.  So I fail to see what law has to do
with anything.

And as to why I elided much of your response is because you are being
discourteous, and double so here.
