You don't have to agree with RMS. As to your statement about mingling philosophy, morality, and software. YOU don't have to. but, RMS did and the tangible result of that was the GPL. It is the legal manifestation of a fuzzy concept of sharing software in a certain, "FREE" way. What it does is ensure that while you may not agree with the overarching philosophy of the GPL, if you use GPL'd software, your actions will legally have to adhere to those philosophy's.

In my opinion, Brilliant.
