I, as a user, DO CARE. I do not want to feel I'm doing something wrong,
if I'm trying to help my other friend, who knows even less than I do,
but I am torn between respecting the author of a program or my
friendship.

I, as a system administrator, DO CARE. I do not want to mingle with
software that has unfair restrictions, which might hurt my company or a
sub-company I may have the need to redistribute the software.

There's a couple of reasons TO CARE.

You, however, keep looking into your belly button satisfied with what
you get and advising people to NOT CARE.

Who's wrong?
