if you think of immoral as negative, non-free software is immoral
because a fettered mind is a gift from the slave to the slaveowner.

if you think of immoral as neutral (similar to "amoral"), non-free
software is immoral because as a currency in motion it casts no
shadow on the moral axis.

if you think of immoral as positive, non-free software is immoral
because slaveowners know better than to let slaves live unprotected.

if you don't think of immoral as correlatable w/ non-free software
in any sense, then you probably have stopped reading by now, which
is just as well...
