    "Reasonable accommodation" means necessary and appropriate modification
    and adjustments not imposing a disproportionate or undue burden, where
    needed in a particular case, to ensure to persons with disabilities the
    enjoyment or exercise on an equal basis with others of all human rights
    and fundamental freedoms;
     
I doubt that these laws apply to volunteers that release free
software, but I think any free software developer ought to make
reasonable accommodation for handicapped people.  I would gladly
support a request for any project to do so.

However, I have to insist that the program is still free, and not
evil, if making it accessible requires more than a reasonable
accommodation.  What I object to about your campaign is that it
seems to imply the contrary.
