Or it could be about a guy from American academia focusing on a very narrow definition of freedom.

  Stallman's version of freedom does seem to be bounded by an excessive use of the word "never".

  Academics and government employees both seem very capable of losing sight of the fact that someone needs to somehow pay the bills. They seem to often be oblivious to that idea. They work. They get paid. Their work doesn't have to make money per se. Their mental model for work and compensation departs from business culture into some la la land where bills are somehow paid by magic, it seems. (I have a lot of relatives who worked for the government and I was a military wife for a lot of years. This is a problem I personally wrestle with and it is likely a factor in my persistent poverty. So it isn't intended to insult anyone.)
