> Free Software is software where you're obligated to share your source code changes if you distribute them. > obligated ....so, basically, Free as in Slavery? Seriously, I'm not going to stand by and watch GNU partisans try to rewrite history.

It is called "Free Software" because the software is free (liberated, unconstrained), not you. You are "obligated" to keep the software free.

  If it were truly "free" then it wouldn't need to "obligate" you to do anything.
