When the GPL is outlawed....

While I am agreement with the sentiment of the editorial, there is a slight problem: I suspect that Microsoft is working to outlaw the GPL and/or Open Source software. And if that happens, won't matter if friendly free software programmers are plugging away in their garages; there won't be any way to distribute or use the result of their efforts.

That, I suspect, is what ESR is trying to warning against.
