As fanatical and dogmatic and maybe hypocritical as Richard Stallman may seem to be, it occurs to me:

Maybe his spearheading of a movement to free software came at just the right time. I think we are all going to have to pool our resources, including computer and software expertise, in the near future, in order to deal with the massive ecological disaster that may soon be here. Whan that happens, I don't honestly believe anyone is going to have time to think about who owns what software, and who is or isn't allowed to modify it.

In other words, we should probably start putting these political struggles behind us and get to work.
