But noone is forcing you to make software libre, with or without asking money for it.

  Thankfully no force. Its just his philosophy

    No, his philosophy doesn't suggest that either.

    You can sell your free software, RMS even encourages it. The reason a lot of the software is gratis is to lower the barrier to use and spread the software. This makes sense if you want to quickly spread an operating system composed of free software. Unfortunately that has become the default for most free and open source software, even for many proprietary software these days.
