Technically they have not removed your freedom to use the product.  They
have just asked that you freely give back to the community in the same
way they have.  That is they are asking you to bear the burden of
supporting the commons in a manner similar to themselves if you wish to
use what they have put in the commons to propel yourself.  I do not
think this is an unfair request.

If it is too cumbersome the easiest out is to grab sources for the LGPL
clients that exist and maintain them.
