> RMS subscribes to the flawed idea that the legitimately admirable ideals of FSF/GNU are important to everyone because they’re important to him.

The fact that some administration doesn't care about software freedoms at that point in time, does not make those freedoms void or not worthy of reminder.

It's like if you'd say that free speech isn't important because you have nothing to say. It's naive.

Personally, I don’t find the concept of free software to be analogous to free speech. I don’t think they are of the same level of importance, and aren’t even very similar concepts.
