You can keep pimping Staalman all you want

In case you haven't noticed, I haven't been "pimping" Stallman, just showing how your vision of these pure, GPL-free OSs is incorrect.

cause they know Stallman's version of "free" is actally a lie.

I agree that BSD is about as free as you can get without being public domain. However, unlike the GPL, BSD code can be effectively turned into absolutely non-free proprietary. I believe it is the inability to effectively steal others' GPL-licensed work that angers you.

You can believe whatever mixed up fabrications you want, but the fact is BSD's use Stallman as little as possible because his claim of "free" is bogus, like most everything else about him. I guess that's why you support him so much, but who knows why, just that it is.
