    As an end-user I believe I am entitled to the freedom to use, modify, and share the software I use. If your business model is incompatible with my values I won’t support you, simple as. I don’t have any problem monetarily supporting developers but not if they disagree with my principles.

    I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this exact argument made against ad-blockers, too.

      You do have the freedom to modify the proprietary binary you’re being given. You just can’t distribute your modifications.
