"Include" is an incorrect word choice.  For example, the OpenBSD ports

system includes Opera, but you won't find Opera on the OpenBSD CD or FTP

site.
For kicks, I did a little digging.  From

http://www.gnu.org/links/links.html#FreeGNULinuxDistributions (listed in

the comments in the article) they list Dynebolic as "consist[ing]

entirely of free software".  However, according to their site

(http://muse.dyne.org/), their live CD contains MuSE, which contains

LAME, which OpenBSD doesn't distribute because it's patent-encumbered

(http://mp3licensing.com/royalty/software.html).
So, what Stallman seems to be saying is that preventing users from

running the software they choose is more important than respecting patents.
