Isn't the answer obvious?  Don't live in a mixed economy.  Accept only
free software.

I'd be happy to discuss this in more depth, but this is not the place.
Reply-To set to me.

Partnership?  No problem at all.  The Linux/BSD/TeX/X11/Perl/Python/
Apache/OpenSSH/GNU systems that many of us use involve cooperation of
many different licenses in order that the software distributed under
them can partner up.

"Absorb", of course, is another matter.  But here that is being used
as a means to freedom; it is not freedom in itself.
