    I apologize (again), I forgot how important terminology is (and sensitive).
    But, frankly, doesn't the above scenario demonstrate that "free software" is 
    not entirely free? It may seem paradoxical, but Microsoft does *not* have 
    the freedom to integrate "free" code in its proprietary products?

That fallacious argument can be restated with this haiku:

  Using GPL
  Is encroaching on our rights
  To encroach on yours
