Not everybody.  I value my freedom too much to carry
any portable phone.

Of course, we want to provide free software to run
on the main processor of portable phones.  If people
are going to use them, we should help them get as close
to freedom as the products permit.  But that is not close
enough, and there's no plausible way we can correct that.
So we should make sure that distributing free software for
them does not appear to legitimize them.
