And your point is...?

  You do not win the culture wars by using words defined by totalitarians. People who have no respect for others’ freedoms.

    You live in a parallel version of Earth I'd like to inhabit if you think the FSF is winning any culture battles, let alone wars.

      They are winning battles. Back when they started, nobody thought software deserved to be free. Bill Gates published a letter where he asserted that nobody should use Microsoft software without paying Microsoft, and only Microsoft had the privilege of improving it. 30 years later, Microsoft releases a lot of stuff under the Apache 2.0 license. If you were not connected to the past, you would not recognize how huge this is.

        And yet, Microsoft's releases are done under APL2, not GPL. I'd argue that that the FSF is culturally irrelevant - the hacker mindset (and so the sharing one) would exist with or without RMS.
