Agreed. It seems to me that ensuring the freedom of free software addresses a fundamental social issue that without RMS never would have been met and could have been lost several times along the way. I see a lot of references to getting with the times and modernity in the complaints against RMS. I don't see much in the way of complaint that GNU is insufficiently free-as-in-freedom, which is the only thing I really want out of GNU.
