The increase of freedom of the slaves is an indirect side effect. But a direct effect, which is guaranteed to happen is the loss of freedom of the slaveholder.

What if I care more about the performance of things that aren't being used right now than the things that are? I'm sick of switching to my DAW and having to listen to my drive thrash when I try to play a (say) sampler I had loaded.

Why would closed source software be safe? Say I copy shared-mime-info completely, compile it, sell it to you as MimeWizardPRO2000, you include it as part of your closed source web framework and sell that. You're still distributing GPL code without making your source available.
