You're misrepresenting his argument. RMS does not recommend OpenBSD because it distributes binary firmware without source code and includes non-free software in the ports system. His position has nothing to do with BSD/ISC vs. GPL. That being said, the OpenBSD developers have given their arguments why they include firmware and non-free ports, and RMS has given his arguments why he doesn't recommend systems that do. I don't see this thread leading to reconciliation of the two sides.
