> How can libre software have evil intentions?

This might not be a particularly nuanced view, but I'm totally fine with non-libre software being used to make a profit, if there's a market for it and there isn't some kind of extortionary force at work. Taking the code and "liberating" it could be considered nefarious because it directly undermines a company's ability to profit off of intellectual property that is entirely theirs.
