I'm not sure this is what you actually mean, but I'm concerned those
statements seem to claim it is acceptable for a program to be proprietary
if it does not comply with accessibility requirements. That is like saying
it is OK to abolish the "freedom of movement" right in democratic states
that do not provide adequate means of travel for the disabled, and it is
useless for people who don't have the money to pay for the ticket. I'm sure
you would agree with me that those are completely different issues.
