Sorry FREEdom is choice. If I want to pay TomTom for the quality of their
maps I want to be free to do so.
So chosing closed stuff is choice of the beholder.
Hence I think you should not oppose but rather NOT choose to install TomTom.
However if your opposition to bring it onto the freerunner limits my choice I
think you are wrong.
