Ok. But the point of libre software is not the freedom of the original
author, it is the freedom of other people.

Author of shareware control the diffusion of their works, that implies they
limit this diffusion. That is, of course, necessary if they want to benefit
from it. But the raw result is that the software is less available than it
could be.
