Yes, I currently can't see anything better to do about this "issue" (or
something similar).


As mentioned, paying for freely-licensed SW (as accepted by FSF or OSI)
is always possible but can *never* be forced (legally), so I don't think
we should make it *appear* as obligatory.

Tangent: it seems to me people are nowadays very adverse to paying for
anything they can (technically) get over the internet. Speaking of SW,
it holds especially for non-developers. When someone funds the
development, it's almost never an individual end-user. Maybe I was
unlucky or it's worse here in CZ...
