Story: My response to Richard Stallman

It's all about choice. I choose to use free software because I enjoy the amount of customization it affords me. Developers are not forced to use the GPL, they do so willingly. If you don't agree with Stallman, great. But I wonder why you care so much; is Stallman forcing you to do something you don't want? Are you disturbed that his ideas don't fit with your conception of the world? Agree with him or not, I'm glad he's vocal if just to provide an alternative to corporate whoredom.
