Most users are not likely to get caught up in this argument. They are smart. ;)
Every once in awhile RMS still takes a shot at Linus, Linux and open source. Most of time it is just his sycophants. I don't see much going the other way from Linus, Linux, open source or their followers. I like RMS and respect him much, but think that he is on the extreme edge and regard him as our idealist conscience. Being pragmatic I don't agree with much of what he says. It isn't because he is extreme, but that his view allows for no other possibilities which I see as limiting choice. I have never got the bit about how we can have more choice if we limit our choices to free software only.
