i don't get your point here
there are many possible attitudes and strategies with respect to
software licensing and it's absolutely not trivial which one to chose
to achieve a goal (or which goal to prefer).
eg. GPL is one possibility which were discussed.
it is perfectly justified to talk and reason about the consequences of
certain licensing schemes.

imho noone talked abut the freedom of code but the freedom of people
using that code.
