I don't think the author said anything that simplistic. What parts are you specifically referring to?
Also:

The author is a coder/lawyer and maintainer of a bunch of software licenses, legal documents, and related code (see github/licensezero). He could certainly be wrong about something, but the idea that he just doesn't get the issues involved is pretty hard to buy.
- kemitchell 8y agoI'm a student of software freedom, not a preacher, not a teacher, and not by any stretch a philosopher. There are things the FSF has written and done that I fail to understand, try as I may. For example, I don't understand their position on "private changes", especially within very large organizations. And I don't understand their position on the proper scope and strength of copyleft rules. I'm missing something. I've written some of my thoughts and questions here: https://blog.licensezero.com/2018/09/14/free-to-take-freedom.html https://blog.licensezero.com/2018/09/14/free-to-take-freedom...
