Look, what the Papists are saying is hardly something extremely original for any religion or system of ethics. You would hear the same ideas from Muslims or Buddhists or most Europeans. The ONLY place were these type of ideas are in disputed are the Western turbo-capitalist societes (to use E. Luttwack's expression), in particular the USA, where greed and a fast buck for the already obscenely rich is considered sacred dogma. Otherwise, civilized mankind pretty much seems in consensus on this type of issues.
This article should be re-written like so:
"Civilized mankind and the Free Software Foundation agree on a number of basic moral values bla bla bla bla...."
Also - since the Papist are trying to impersonate traditional Christians (which is ludicrous since most of their dogmas have no basis in Patristic teachings - such as the Immaculate Conception or Papal infallability which are 19th century inventions) you cannot refer to their views on technology as "doctrine". In the words of Saint Vincent of Lerins, 5th century, only that which has been taught "by all (Christians), everywhere and always" constitutes correct (Orthodox) doctrine. The Papist have been raving modernists and innovators for over 10 centuries now and are still continuing, but to call their statements about the Internet as "doctrine" is incorrect.
Lastly - I would submit that 99.999999% of Papist do not even know their *own* doctrine any more. Ask any Papist what the dogma of "Immaculate Conception" means and the vast majority will answer that it refers to the virginity of the Mother of God. This is, of course, wholly incorrect. Or ask them where the idea of "sacred heart" really means - and typically they will be clueless.
Pope-worshipping is about all that is left from this sorry institution.
