"It’s not really about Freedom at all, because >99% of computer users are non-programmers, making the freedoms to study, modify & redistribute not directly relevant." It's like saying >99% of people don't own news agencies, so requiring government approval to publish a story is not directly relevant. It is relevant - to everyone who might want to read the story, or in this case, use the software. This is also the same logic that was used to advocate (unsuccessfully, for now) for mandatory DRM in TVs: "This protects the rights of artists, while only limiting the rights of a very small number of people who make TVs." What it ignores is that it also deprives everyone of the right to buy a DRM-free TV, thus restricting everyone, not just the few TV manufacturers.
