Well-written, but ultimately one example does not a trend make (wrt rms 'admitting' GPL doesn't guarantee freedom)
Especially when that example is an outlier compared to most of GPL software. The dual licensing is one aspect, and another is the rare combination of being on the extremes of complexity and adoption.
If an analogous situation occurred with say Wordpress or Drupal (low complexity, high adoption), it wouldn't be as big of a deal. Ditto for a high complexity low adoption project (examples escape me at the moment).
