The first half of the post is RMS's usual loaded rant on what 'freedom' means. He's a weird brand of anarchocommunist, and axiomatically doesn't believe in running any code that you can't see the source to and haven't compiled yourself. That sets him up to start off most of his rants that might otherwise have a point with a bunch of bullshit that we've all seen and laughed at before.

- click170 12y ago> that we've all seen and laughed at before Let's be fair, he's been right about a LOT of things. Things that we did laugh at him for saying. Maybe we shouldn't have laughed so hard.
