Freedom 2 is necessary so that you can live an upright life, so that you can be ethical, be a good member of society. If you use a program that does not give you Freedom 2, the freedom to help your neighbor, the freedom to distribute copies to others, then you are facing a potential moral dilemma that could happen at any moment, when somebody comes up and says, "could I have a copy of that program?" At that point, what are you going to do? You're forced to choose between two evils. One evil is to make a copy of the program for that person and violate the license. The other evil is to comply with the license, but be a bad neighbor. So you've got to choose the lesser evil, which is to make a copy for that person and violate the license. [Laughter, applause]
