How is software freedom a people-hating ideology? The FSF doesn't say that software must be under the GPL or another copyleft license to be considered free. Permissive licenses such as the BSD, X11, ISC, zlib, and Apache licenses are also free-software licenses. Many software freedom advocates choose to use copyleft licenses, and encourage others to do so, because they believe that's the best way to reach their goals. But they don't demand that all software be copyleft.
