The system I have is to assume that all software is libre. Then if I’m naming something that is proprietary I mention it.
"GNU Emacs is a program designed to be an multipurpose extensible interface to information/text manipulation. It is published by the GNU Project under a copyleft license.
"VSCode is a proprietary program released by Microsoft that is a multi-language code editor extended via plugins. Microsoft profits off of VSCode’s product network effect to sell proprietary plugins and subscription services. There is VSCodium as the de-blobbed implementation of VSCode published under a no-rights permissive license. This means that users contributing to codium will also be benefitting VSCode in turn, exposing the injustice of permissive licenses.
Microsoft’s massive user share on code editing leads to a ripple effect of advertising other proprietary products and also teaches users that proprietary software can be tolerated if it is a useful tool"
No need to juggle between “free vs open vs libre vs Foss etc”

That’s a good way of going about it, I’ll keep that in mind, thanks!
