Yes.  I simply expressed that I am not very happy about that usage. But
I can't and will never decide who is going to use a software; that is
simply not up to me.  There are many other usage patterns I certainly
don't like (miltitary usage) and which I won't support either voluntary or
paid. 

There is a big difference between supporting a software and allowing
to use it.
