Why didn't you answer my mail Rui ?
You are a troll.

Either I did and you missed it, or it wasn't the answer you'd expect or
I found it so irrelevant it didn't even raise any bell.


You have not answered at all, you have answered to other people so that you could dodge my embarassing question instead of explaining why it is
different to do the exact same thing when you are from the FSF.

I'm not from the FSF.

According to YOU, it is okay to have emacs and gcc run on a proprietary system as it allows more people to run free software. How is it that it is wrong to allow more people to run a free system by giving them links to proprietary software if it encourages them to keep their free system
instead of switching to a proprietary one ?

1) ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/ isn't "links"
2) using more free software is better than not running it at all
3) incentivating usage of non-free software on free software operating
systems doesn't incentivate the creation of free software replacements
4) FYI I think the wine project is counter-productive as it enables
  running non-free software on free software operating systems, and as
  such de-incentivates the creation of replacements.
4.1) but it's free software and its authors have their own independence.

By providing emacs and gcc for windows you encourage people to run just a few free applications with proprietary system and (many) tools, while we just give people the freedom to install a proprietary application on
top of a free system with free tools.

Look, OpenBSD is aggressive enough that people who "need" such non- free
software likely won't even run it on OpenBSD, so what you're saying is
that to the convenience of a few people who don't care for freedom of
all users, you distribute non-free software.

Anyways, most of your emails have been so rude that in afterthought I
shouldn't even "honour" you with a reply.

I try hard to keep my emails insult-free, saying that they are rude for helping you avoid embarassing questions is what makes you a troll. Just like your friend Stallman, you play on words and act like a victim if a
person points

No, I am a victim and your (generically, not specifically you) attitude
actually makes my relation with OpenBSD very frustrating.

So GTFO. Oh and lose the sig on a public mailing list. You don't like us we don't like you. You think we rank up there with baby killers. I will NEVER understand how that works so just FOAD and we can all be happy.
