Stallman advocates for a utopia in which software is developed by the masses for enjoyment and individual utility. Programmers are expected to work other jobs to subsidize their hobby. IIRC he also suggested that they could sell copies of their software on physical media, but this is irrelevant in the bittorrent era. He acknowledges that realization of the FSF's goals would most likely end the phenomenon of professional developers and is perfectly okay with this. It's somewhere on the Philosophy section of the gnu project's website. It's late, but I'll find the specific link later.
