I see where you are going the but your premise seems flawed. You are failing to
recognize that the vast majority of content on websites is non-free. I can not
take a random picture from a website modify it and then claim it to be my own.
In fact most thing I do not even have the right to re-distribute at all.
So if you are arguing youtube-dl is mostly to access non-free works then so is
a browser, with very few exceptions. Even the FSF licenses many of their posts
CC-BY-ND. Thus not free. </pre>

I have attempted to highlight the differences but if that is your
perspective, then OK, then that's what I am arguing. Does the
inclusion of web browsers suggest Parabola endorses nonfree cultural
works? <br>
<br>
If not then it would appear that the line cannot be drawn at "tools
that mostly provide access to nonfree works" because of web
browsers. Therefore there is no need to patch or remove games that
enable a user to access nonfree works because web browsers do the
same. If as, bill has stated, devs can implement the line wherever
they feel without confirmation from other devs and this is your
opinion then I would ask you personally to draw the line here and
maintain packages such as OpenRA and an unpatched version of OpenMW.<br>
<br>
If so please remove web browsers.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
From bill's statements, developers as it stands have the ability to
decide what kind of cultural works their users can access based on
their own personal level of support for free culture. Personal
political opinions of individual developers should not be imposed on
users.<br>
