Indeed, the purpose of proprietary software licencing is to attempt to
blackmail consumers into a particularly political view, namely that
money more properly belongs in the vendor's, rather than the consumer's,
pocket. If you don't understand why using a government legal system to
enforce this belief is a political view, I suggest taking an
introductory political science course.
