In general philosiphy I beleive if a person is understanding enough and have capacity and willingness to learn, he should be helped, but that does not mean giving it to every one who does not understands or appreciates the GNU/FOSS philosiply at the first place.
If there is such a potential user and he can clearly differenciate between the two things. He will then have a understanding of choice, and it should be his decision to learn and use it. Luring or tempting a "potential" user is not very right IHMO. I will rather wait for a sign of curosity & learning.
