To value a political stance over "practical progress" does go counter
to our general culture, which encourages us to dismiss any philosophy
that differs from its own as 'impractical'.

But the FSF's political philosophy is extremely practical: it is why
we have the GNU/Linux operating system at all.

Again, I really recommend reading
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html about this specifically, and
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-free.html in general.
