I've got all the respect in the world for the work that RMS has done
over the years ... but:

gnu.org does not acknowledge any license but the GPL as being "truly
free", and they'll never acknowledge any system that is not 100.00%
GPL code as being "truly free".  Draw your own conclusions about how
that stance connects to reality.
