If X is not a subset of Y, Y is not a subset of X, both are not empty,
and X is harmful and illegal, Y itself isn't harmful, and we usually
speak about the intersection of X and Y, should we prohibit Y?  Harming
"children" (also e.g. by arresting them for sharing pictures of
themselves with other "children") is bad and isn't the same as what RMS
writes about.

I won't support your organization for the beliefs stated there.  If you
support a master, why not support software controlled by a master.

Another issue that I consider harmful are the modified (ignoring the
licensing notice stated there) and renamed licenses.  Unless "this
license" has a non-literal meaning, they seem incompatible with much
free software.
