I went to a talk Stallman gave today. While walking over to have lunch after his talk, I asked him about using Debian. He said that he doesn't like it because they have repositories for non-free software.
His general philosophy goes far beyond software. He says that he believes we should share with each other. Proprietary software is a way to control other people, even if it is provided at no monetary cost. And he's a very strong believer in freedom.
He admonished me several times to become more politically active since I'm retired and have lots of free time. I responded that I'm weighing that with the desire to enjoy my retirement years.
He's a very interesting person. It was great fun to finally meet him in person and hear some of his ideas first hand.
One of the things that is very clear is that "free" has many interpretations.
