I'd be eager to hear suggestions for an appropriate response.

Usually these folks are very strong on the freedom of speech; I wish
they could see the free speech implications of suppressing software.
(The same problem has arisen with the MPAA, which helped fight the CDA

to distribute sexually explicit materials, but not the right to
distribute computer programs.)
