Indeed. From the end of that web page:
But we should not listen to these temptations, because we can achieve much more if we stand together. We free software developers should support one another. By releasing libraries that are limited to free software only, we can help each other's free software packages outdo the proprietary alternatives. The whole free software movement will have more popularity, because free software as a whole will stack up better against the competition.
I fully surrender. :-)
Seems that tactics and politics are more important then the original idea of freedom for software... I trust RMS having thought about this for quite a while, before suggesting to go along this way.
Thanks for the link Alessandro!
