> I don't want to start a flame war, but if the BSD license allows for them to do this, why is it morally wrong?
I can legally walk down the street cursing at everyone I meet. I can try to learn things about people, and then use that to make them feel terrible. I can start a business that intentionally preys on people in bad situations in ways that will make them worse off.
I'm allowed to do all that. I believe doing any of them are varying degrees of morally wrong.
One should never confuse law and morality. They are not the same, and what's worse than confusing them is trying to make them the same.
