I don't think that there's a single F/OSS community, myself, so 
it's difficult to say what the spirit or the rules are. 

What's against the rules? Violating license terms. Trying to restrict 
other people's freedoms. "Extend and embrace". Lying. Apart from 
that, I'm not sure there's anything we can all agree on.
