I see your point -- if we made this a rigid requirement _on us_
to find programs which mainly lead to nonfree software and rule on them,
and if this rule called for evaluating an exact criterion, it would
be difficult.

Instead I suggest we evaluate the cases that come to our attention,
by a less exact criterion, and seem worth bothering with.
