The right "to be proprietaty" is a freedom of removing my freedoms of sharing, using and adapting the software. Your argument is pointless.

True freedom has to respect others that hold different values, that's my entire point.

So, if by my personal values I decide that you should pay me a big fine, should I have the freedom to make it happen? Like you said, true freedom means that you have to respect my values, right?
