I read your critique. Yet another instance of Stallman's lack
of consistency.
What I found slightly interesting, and correct me if I'm wrong,
is that one of Stallman's basic arguments for free software is
that individuals have the right to use their hardware however
they wish, but running propietary software means that somebody
else is controlling or 'owning' their hardware.
That is a rather libertarian/propertarian argument.
