aren't you restricting freedom when you would keep a creator from sharing his software under his own terms?
How is rms doing that? Has he been granted lawmaking powers?
No, he is only putting conditions on the software he made, nothing more. If selling binaries under any agreed terms is freedom, how can giving away source under agreed terms be restricting freedom? Your position is contradictory.
Meanwhile, rms' position is clear and unambiguous: there are four freedoms that users should have, and software either respects them or not.
