   One thing I've missed in this discussion is "WHY should your average

   some of them have seen gnuemacs, and they really hate it.)

This isn't a flame.  I've made suggestions similar to the above. In
retrospect, perhaps other considerations such as programmer's freedom
are nearer to the spirit of LPF statements:

    "Our aim is to stop changes in the copyright system which
    would take away programmers' traditional freedom to write new
    programs compatible with existing programs and practices."

Justification on the basis of economcis alone isn't going to be very
effective.  A boycot by nature indicates that some people abstain from
the boycotted products in spite of economics.
