Why the :-((? 

 I say: Spread free software as widely as possible.  Those who haven't
got net access can buy it from for-profit organizations/companies.
Soon they will realise the superior quality of (some of the) free
software and will try and find more free software from other sources.
The net is one such source.

>BTW: Does FSF have a good lawyer ?

I assume you mean that distributing free software for money is somehow
illegal.  On the contrary, one of the goals of FSF is to create a
market for service based on free software.  Go read the GNU manifesto
and see the light.   :-) :-)
