As a huge FOSS guy, I have to say -- this list is excellent. I think where this debate/discussion goes off the rails is a lack of appreciation for every aspect of things in their place. The GPL + Stallman + FOSS et al are absolutely necessary as a sort of extreme visible working model; an endpoint to an Overton Window of this sort of thing and as such I completely support it. But also, I also do not believe that supporting it requires full and complete buy-in, the way some people do religion. I'm glad it's THERE, and ALSO not everyone has to do it. This is not hypocritical or even conflicting.
