The page Mr. Crossland cites actually offers no particular

Is that not a freedom one can legitimately choose to allow to
others, Mr. Crossland? Or is the "freedom" described by the FSF the
only allowable kind...?
If I am free to beat someone up that does not mean the sum total of
freedom for society is increased. By allowing someone the freedom to
beat others up you are not defending freedom but failing to defend
the freedom of those who could be and are beaten.
The point is real "freedom" is measured on a "whole picture" basis,
not on an individual basis.
