From the article: "Stallman is the man behind the concept that every computer program must be free for users to study and modify as they want."

Does he suggest software must be free?

We know he doesn't say the must be free in cost. Does he say they need to be free as in speech? I've never heard him say that. I don't think of him as telling others what they must do.

I feel like a lot of the polarization around what he says comes from misunderstanding. This feels like one of them.
