I *think* what he was saying was similar to: If you have free speech then there is going to be someone who says something you don't like, but they still have the right to say it as that is what free speech is. In the context of Free Software I think that would mean that if you have true freedom them some people are going to do something with your software you dislike (i.e. take away the freedom of others). By not allowing people to resuse your source in a way that you disagree with are you not taking away some of their freedom? I personally disagree with Vijay's point of view, but he has every right to say it (see Free Speech allows Vijay to say something I disagree with, of course under Free Speech I have an equal right to voice an opposite opinion). It is an interesting question though, should someone the ability to remove others freedoms be considered a prerequisite of their freedom? No news on the Radio Labs blog yet.
