I agree with you - but decisions comes with responsibilities, such as
to make an ethical decision.

I agree here too :-) I will not buy proprietary software licenses.

Although normally, deciding to get paid in unethical ways
(counterfeiting, fraud, racketeering...) is often outlawed, I'm not

away eventually :-)

What I mean is, before I was born, Stallman covered the risk of not
getting rich is not a justification for restricting people. His logic
for programs translates directly to fonts, and I basically copy and
pasted the GNU manifesto and changed "programs" to "fonts" :-)
