Well, some of us think that restriction on trade (export control)
is unethical.  Some of us also think that software patents are
unethical.  Some of us are even anarcho-capitalists and think that
government has no business in this matter.  Although you seem to
consider your position obviously ethical, I don't think it is.
Repetitiveness will not convince anyone either.
