I have nothing but admiration for RMS, even though I am not the free software purist that he is. To me, comparison to RMS is not an insult. If, like RMS, you don't care to run any code you don't have the source for, it's no problem for you if LSB-compatible binaries don't run on your Debian box; you can port them.
