When I do eventually write a COC for my project (i.e. when more than 0 people have seen it :-) ), this is an important section that I want to write. I choose free software licenses because I want my users to be as free as I am in their choices.
I thought long and hard about why I write free software. It's not for an altruistic reason. I do it because it is something important to me. If I allow others to dictate what I should be doing, then I lose my reason to write free software. The free software license is their guarantee that no matter what crazy thing I decide to do, or say, they can carry on without me. That's as fair as I want to get.
