> Most HN users don't know about the alternatives, just like the public.

That's a rather ridiculous assumption on your part. As a tech-literate crowd, it's quite likely they are aware of them, if for no other reason those alternatives make the front page semi-frequently.

> If you say that those who know don't care, I will ask you for some evidence.

As soon as you provide evidence for the premises for your argument. As my position is simply saying yours is false, the onus is on you to support yours.

> "we" are aware of the problem and care about the freedom.

Sure, maybe, but caring about freedom isn't the same as caring about FSF approved software.
