I think it's not majorly the DoD's push though (they aren't all that powerful, they are grifters), there are stronger geo-financial interests behind this.
Nothing wrong with making money on your work, and if you work on open source, even better I think. I have been spending hours a week for decades working on FOSS, never got paid, so yes, that was (and still is) intentional charity.
Stallman was propagating the ideal of Free and Open Source Software, where the notion of Freedom was paramount. I think that is the Free the poster you are responding to was talking about, not as in Freeware (usable without paying, but not necessarily open source).
Actually, that is what I would like, but if I use Thunderbird on my Maildirs (served by Dovecot), the search (particularly in the mail body) is not really feasible. Perhaps there is a search integration for Dovecot that I am not aware of??
What I would like is an app that I can let loose on my Maildir directory and indexes and allows search. It doesn't need to receive mails or download (or send) them.
