The barrier that you seem to see between what you call "facts" and what you call "politics" is entirely artificial. Politics has a direct impact on facts: without the political idealism of the free software pioneers and of GNU in particular, free software would not be a "fact" of today's world, and we would only have proprietary software. Without the political idealism of the past centuries revolutionaries, we would still leave under tyranny in the western world. Politics definitely matters and is not just "blabla": it shapes world facts and our whole life. So, even if your arguments deserve consideration, please don't be so rude against people who upheld the idealism of the free software movement.
