But my disagreement with Stallman is ideological. In particular: 1. I think that enumerating freedoms is at best a waste of time and at worst a way to justify abridging the freedoms that matter. 2. I think the question really is who gets to direct downstream licensing and under what circumstances. The MIT license allows an individual to add restrictions to the license without even making contributions. The AGPL encumbers services provided with license terms. The other licenses are in the middle. Instead of enumerating freedom, I would rather define it, namely as the right to engage in economic production without upstream obligations. From this viewpoint, the AGPL is significantly less free than the license of the closed source redistributable libraries that come with Microsoft Visual Studio. Since I find the latter too restrictive for my taste, I won't touch the former.
