Hm, that’s not how I read that sentence at all. It doesn’t sound like he is stating any values of his own in this sentence to me. Where do you see his values? I don’t see them.

Where do you see his values? I don’t see them.

I think that's the point.

Ok, so where do you see his absence of values? This reads to me like a value-neutral statement. We just don't know them and shouldn't make any claims about them.

I think Stallman would probably agree with the famous Howard Zinn quote: "You can't be neutral on a moving train."

[ugh]

I don't mean neutral in the sense of "having neutral values", I just mean that he does not explicitly express his values. We do not know his values.
