Actually I'm very calm.  Do not worry, I did not take it as an offense.
Sorry, maybe I have not expressed myself correctly in an emotional

Indeed.  When the modified resulting "Linux" has proprietary software in
it they are only making a technical mistake.  When the modified kernel
is totally free software, besides it, they are making an ethical one.

We cannot guide our actions nor justify our mistakes by the
majority's errors.
