"The difficulty is that the freedoms that the Free Software Foundation insists on giving software users are freedoms that most software users do not want" How can he presume to know what "most software users" want or don't want? I daresay that while most users don't have the know-how or time to edit their programs' source code, they would be agreeable to the other tenets of Free Software such as "The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose." Also, while not stated as one of the FSF's four "freedoms", freedom from user-hostile behaviour is strongly associated with the modern notion of free software, and I bet you won't find any consumer opposed to that. Just ask anyone who has struggled with Windows Update's forced automatic reboots how they feel about Microsoft being in their computer's driver seat.
