That's an interesting direction. I re-read a bunch of RMS rants to see what he really meant, and generally found that his supporting arguments were more about practicality, i.e. the open source concept. I do believe that he saw the big picture, and had a real vision related to the nature of information, but I don't believe he ever successfully articulated it. Until that happens, all of the dialog related to morality will keep getting sucked back to 'how do you make money on open source', which is not the same issue. So I'd ask a different question.
Information seems to want to be free in the same way that momentum wants to be conserved.
