1 - false. the opensource movement would be almost nowhere without both the FSF and the GPL.
2 - i might agree with you, but it's not one of the reasons why "open source" movement is any more popular or has 'better billing' than FS.
3 - discrediting the differences will help no one. there are differences, so people should recognize them...but not to the point that RMS does.
4 - your personal opinion, and not at all relevant to why OS might be better billed than FS. the Free Software movement has no monopoly on having rude jerks in its camp...the OSS movement has plenty of their own.
also, RMS isn't "losing"...far from it. while he's passionate about the FS community, he's pointing out differences in FS and OSS communities, when he *should* be making a small point of that, and move on to the REAL work -- educating the public about the strengths of FS.
people will go for the guy who explains why his way is better, not why other ways are bad.
