Because one of the illegitimate functions of government is to protect
people from themselves.  Since free libre software can, (and probably
will) destroy softw3are companies, by banning it, the government is
"protecting" the people from teh harm caused by free / libre software.

The "harm' is the financial beating that companies take, because
"their oxygen supply has been cut off" to use Microsoft's term for the
strategy.
