   While I may also dream of a world where Free Software results in
free
   everything, I'm willing to take things one step at a time and
make
   money out of Free Software while still being a staunch advocate
of
   Freedom from IP.

Freedom and IP are categories from different worlds. In a world,
where
"information is free" (in the RMS sense) there is no intellectual
property but only intellectual authorship. Any form of control over
distribution (and this is inherently to property as category)
restricts freedom of information flow.  This is one of the main
points
in the discussion on the Oekonux list.
