You can practice FOSS-only on your own, but don’t force it upon others. If they want to use a paid service, then let them.

It’s shitty to go after Dawson. Nobody but an asshole would do so. FOSS zealotry is no better than religious zealotry, or vegan zealotry, or atheist zealotry, or crossfit zealotry (just to fill out the meme of those three lol).
