GNU considered harmful to software quality

Let's make one thing clear. I myself don't think that GNU or any
other product like it could take over the market entirely. Far from it,
people will always be willing to pay for a better, supported system even
when there is a free one around. What I object to is the philosophy
behind the GNU statements. If the GNU project changed its aims, I
would view it in an entirely different light. RMS contends that the
current capitalist market for software does more harm than good, and
he wants to destroy it with GNU. I suggest this is one man's belief and
that he should not try and destroy the system that others view differently.
