This guy has apparently never heard of non-commercial software.
How come it's immoral for me to run MY OWN software (something I WROTE)?  
And how about software for which no payment is asked?  There is lots 
of it around, and it's often better than the commercial stuff.  
The author has no objection, why should anyone else?
