If there are so many aspects of the free software licenses that bother  
you, why would you ever have anyone use that software? would it not be  
better to simply have them pay for licensed software that makes you  
feel good?

I have read the same licenses as you, and have not had any problem  
telling people that this free software may have programs included that  
you will need to pay money for. Of course, these same people have been  
paying money for many years to another software giant for many years  
already. They see no problem using programs that are costing them many  
dollars less now. I have explained to those same individuals that free  
as defined in the GPL does not always mean you will not have to spend  
any money, and they are just as happy to pay for part of the software  
as they are to be able to use the non-paid parts.
