No it&#x27;s just his same argument as ever. The GPL specifically addresses RMS&#x27; issues of software freedom. Choosing a different license ignores the topic of software freedom as defined by the FSF. That&#x27;s all he is saying.<p>Look the GPL is a hard choice. It is very unfriendly to a developer who is looking to make a living on their code, since it makes selling that code as an artifact. It&#x27;s not impossible but much more complex than if you just have a EULA.<p>That said if you remove that difficulty you neuter the GPL and weaken the point of software freedom.<p>I get why RMS pisses people off. He doesn&#x27;t keep arguing for using the GPL to be an asshole, but because he thinks software users are more important than software developers. Perhaps most developers feel differently?
