If what you say is true, Stallman is completely out of touch with
reality, since every OS out there makes it possible to install
non-free software... to the notable exception of GNU hurd, which
doesn't work anyway.

Until I've listened to that interview, I'll assume you've taken that
quote out of context.

What's probably more detrimental to Stallman is that we don't subscribe
to his political views, which is something he's perfectly able to say.

But just saying the BSD include non-free software is such a petty argument,
hell, it's even below RMS level...
