What you're saying is misleading. Here's how I would say it: "In the world RMS wants, Apple would not have the right to develop Swift on top of a GPL-ed compiler platform and make it proprietary." That's not incredible at all, and makes perfect sense. I've never seen the the Free Software movement as "hackers" against "corporations". Places like Cygnus (bought by Red Hat) made a mint selling Free Software consulting services. Nobody ever had a problem with that. They thrived because they were good and they solved real problems for people. None of that is antithetical to either the Free Software movement or corporations.
