This is an overly simplistic take on what I was getting at. For example, it could be said that proprietary software increases the "positive freedom" of proprietary software developers. So then what's wrong with them releasing proprietary software? Isn't that what they should do, if it works best for them---makes them the most money or whatever, and thus increases their "positive freedom"? One of the big problems with RMS is that he just throws out terms like "freedom" without stating what he means, giving a moral justification, and showing how they can be applied correctly.
