I'm sure I don't know what you mean.
The only Evil about is that which keeps me from having good, solid, stable, tested, documented software at a price (in money and time) that I can afford. I do not wish to compromise my standards by bending to someone else's ideology.
You choose wrongly. Convenience and cost is temporary. Ideology is forever. I refuse to sacrifice whats right for temporary conveniance. Not to mention the total price to society is smaller long term with open source than with closed source. Its bad enough to be forced to use it occasionally by forces beyond my control- I'm sure as hell not going to help the closed sourcers along. If they're going to restrict my freedoms on what I can do with something I bought (their software. And yes, I buy software, I don't license it. I refuse to recognize the idea of buying a license. I buy the cd, I buy the software on it. If you don't like it, get a written contract from me stating otherwise), there's no way in hell I'm going to let them do a damn thing with my work without compensation in the form of code.

Why not just state that "all software, written by anyone, at any time, belongs to RMS" and be done with it?
s/RMS/everyone/ and that sounds fine.
