I understand the need to not give the users any posibility to use 
non-free software by mistake, but I agree with hellekin. I choose what 
to install and use, since freedom 0 is guaranteed to me by free 
software. When I need/want to hack, reverse engineer, test, observe, 
learn, understand why those abominations (called non-free and 
proprietary software) exist and what they are trying to force to the 
users throat, you name it, I don't need/want to be stripped of my 
freedom 0 by free software.

Or maybe someone wants to decide in my place what should I do with my 
computer, regardless of my freedom 0?
Freedom in obscurity is as bad as security by obscurity!
