It's interesting that some people don't like the comparison of the
Free Software movement to a religion, yet the main argument of the
movement, and the deliberate co-opting of words like "Free" and "Free
Software" are done in an attempt to guilt others into accepting RMS's
vision of morality.
He's perfectly welcome have that vision. But I don't let it affect my
own moral compass -- I reject it as just another post-modern religion,
AKA cult.
