I've spent some time with Stallman in real life. There is very little variance between Ubuntu and OS X to him. They both have free kernels (Linux, XNU) that come with nonfree binary blobs (device drivers) and nonfree userlands (Ubuntu apt-get main channel is not entirely free, OS X is obviously nonfree). To Stallman, once you give convenience the time of day, you might as well be Bill Gates.
