It's a crucially important thing that RMS emphasises in this speech. The work  
of the free software movement has changed character and become more difficult  
because it can no longer be mainly focused on building software replacements  
that people can use in freedom (GNU's Not Unix), but must be even more on  
educating people to value their own freedom.

I believe the situation is quite similar to that of the vegetarian/vegan  
ethical movement. While there are now more alternatives to animal products  
than ever, only a minority use these substitutes while the masses eat more  
meat than ever. And just like it's very hard to change peoples' eating habits  
so is it with computer and communication habits. Now, consider the work of  
trying to convince people of both.
