We're simply going to disagree on this. I'm not bothered by any dissonance you find in my perspective.
If the only thing free in your project is the client and not the tools to _build_ a network you're not building free software.
I'm trying to tell you every way possible that I'm 98% confident your fixation on monetization is what's creating the conflict.
You can tell me I'm _wrong_ all you like. It doesn't eliminate that position as a source of conflict.
