It is when they attempt to force their moral code on others.

Is the benefit clearly obvious? If you actually adhere 100% to Stallman's code I'm not so sure.

Tridge made no attempt to force his code on others.

In fact, it was the reverse - he felt like he was being locked out of kernel development because he didn't want to align his moral code with those who used BK.

So, he tried to find a way to hold true to his code without forcing the rest of the kernel team to give up BK.
