The same thought came to my mind when I saw the headline and the intentions became clear once I read it.
Lots of indirect attacks on "free software" once RMS is back on the board. I honestly don't understand it - lot of people talking about "leadership" and free software "losing" against open source. The proponents of free software have absolutely no desire to win against anybody nor does it need any kind of leadership to make it attractive for corporates or any other group of people. We just believe that users of software should have certain freedoms and try and use software which respects these.
In HN particularly, I often see the argument that GPL restricts freedoms of certain kinds of users i.e. the developers. We honestly don't care - if you don't like free software, please use open source and celebrate that you have "won" against us.
