I can make an proprietary emacs package without using any free software.
I just cannot use code released with a free software license.

My statement is quite different. Having emacs cater to proprietary users is a
poor decision.
But people can do what they want.
Pragmatically speaking, focusing your mind on the freedom and community and
thinking
about greater long-term goals will strengthen you to resist this pressure.
School Administrators around the world should stop requiring students to run
non-free software.
If hard-nosed cynics ridicule freedom because in their mind unjust profit is
the only purpose,
ignore them.
