I don't.  I understand you, my approach is just a little bit
different.  We seek very similar goals.

I don't believe there is any legitimate argument in support of the
existence of non-free software.  But where it does happen to exist, and
in a world where many people strongly disagree with that, I look for
practical ways to both advance our ideals and coexist with others.

That's often true, but it's also too much of a generalization.  I'll
leave it to people to evaluate this on a case-by-case basis.
