It's interesting that some people don't like the comparison of the Free Software movement to a religion, yet the main argument of the movement, and the deliberate co-opting of words like "Free" and "Free Software" are done in an attempt to guilt others into accepting RMS's vision of morality. He's perfectly welcome have that vision. But I don't let it affect my own moral compass -- I reject it as just another post-modern religion, AKA cult.
