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.

It is your claim that is disconnected to reality.

There are many valid criticisms against FSF but this often repeated one has never been among them.
