A positive influence has to be a good thing -- but what does
it mean to have a positive influence on a proprietary program?

Convincing its developers to make it free software is the biggest form
of positive influence.  But we can only occasionally achieve that
much.  Short of that, what kind of change would be positive?

To be truly positive, it ought to be positive for users' freedom.
