>i value freedom and being able to ensure maximal utility for the end user over vague ideological commitments that hold no water in the age of red hat, mozilla, and canonical.
In what world do these ideological commitments hold less water in the age of Red Hat, Mozilla and Canonical than in the age of AT&T, IBM, Oracle and Microsoft?
Notice how all of those companies had to create and promote open source to compete with GNU and the FSF.
The open source that you promote is an ideology in itself. It directly supports these corporations, all of them need open source to keep existing. Free Software, to them, is a threat.
It's also ironic how GNU became the de-facto Unix implementation despite not being UNIX, while BSD languished and became a straggler. All due to its license that has allowed companies to simply take and use the code without ever giving back anything to the community.
Even Linus, the ungrateful bastard, has benefited from the GPL. Without it companies and developers would've used and modified the kernel without ever publishing their sources. The result is that the Linux kernel supports an astounding amount of hardware while BSD does not.
