RMS claims that OpenBSD does not meet his criteria as a recommendable  
free operating system since the userland ports infrastructure contains  
references to non-free software.  As your choice quotes demonstrate,  
Richard Stallman, the FSF and the GNU project advocate the use of non- 
free operating systems.  They go so far as to provide binary  
executables on their own official servers.

It doesn't get any more hypocritical than that.
