Story: Twenty years of free software: What now?

•

Where should this goal of "freedom" end?

I'm employed by a major insurer in developing leading edge e-commerce systems which will give us competitive advantage.

Is Mr Stallman saying that we should "free" this code and give it to our competitors?

I'm also an avid games player who not only buys games regularly, but also pays a monthly subscription to a paid-for online game. Without myself and others paying for those games, they would simply not be available.

Whilst I agree with the aims of creating a viable free software community, there IS a place for proprietary and paid-for software.

Respectfully, Mr Stallman needs to come down from his Ivory tower.
