Hopefully you don't represent the stance of very many free software proponents.
I own a corporation. I don't consider myself or my company sociopathic or greedy (and yes, I do want to make money, that's why I do what I do).
I employ ten people with families, and I innovate and provide a good product for my customers. Somehow I'm now a sociopath. If you weren't so serious in your pontification I'd break out laughing. Now I just wonder what soviet bloc country's economic model you chose to replace your common sense.
Your true colors are showing very clearly. There is a stereotype that FSF supporters are silly che-wannabes (or some such argument along those lines) - it's a stereotype I try to combat, even though I'm not in the FSF camp.
Unfortunately, your post (and generally your entire worldview) detracts from any sensible position the FSF tries to put forth, and in fact strips credibility from anything you touch.
