I did not make that claim.

  You claim that enforcing open licenses, designed to make it easier to use, modify and share works for general benefit is more big-bad business than Stallmans perspective. But Stallman is generally a vocal supporter of such licenses, so if he supports their enforcement he is just as bad? Both CC and open-source software use the framework of existing copyright law to guarantee a "fair" use of works, with only few restrictions. Not without any restrictions. I maybe should not have responded with this provocative question, but to me both movements use very similar tools for similar purposes.

You said it much better than I ever could :). And that's why I used the comparison to the GPL, especially since that has a history of the FSF going to court over violations.
