I tend to not agree with RMS's, what I would call, pedantry about exact
terminology, but he is definitely right about the term "intellectual
property". I happen to think that copyrights and patents should be abolished,
each for different reasons, but trademarks should not. I would even be open
to strengthening trademark restrictions a little, though I don't think it
would actually be necessary. The similarities between these laws are so
trivial and unimportant, lumping them together just doesn't make any sense.
It's kind of like if we had a "radiation control" category covering anything
that has anything to do with invisible, non-infrared radiation (including
radio/microwave communication, microwave ovens, and nuclear power plants).
Just because you can find some way to put several things into the same
category doesn't mean you should.
