Strangly fixated on how "free software" is not a metonym. I wonder what the author would make of free speech, let alone the fact that grammer is completely irrelevant to the point at hand.

It then marshalls enough other bad arguments in a short enough period to be a gish gallop, and I gave up halfway through.

Honestly I felt the presise had some promise, software has changed and the FSF not so much, but this article does not convince or educate me of it.

Source-available software that has inoffensive terms and enforcement has allowed people to take Free Software for granted; much in the same manner that the lack on onerous stifling of speech has allowed many to take Free Speech for granted. Many young north americans think speech should face more limits, for instance.

I also gave up -- it started OK and went off the deep end somewhere in the middle.
