Incorrect.

Before repeating anything rms has written, I determine if it is correct (the amount of time's he's correct when it pertains to software is incredible, although for other areas, he's often incorrect).

>not realizing that the is a reason why the community split back in 1998
The community was rather subverted by those who wanted to pander to the corporate interests who don't like it when people are even advised about what's considered right and what's considered wrong in a free community and to think about it and the weak willed followed them in the wrong direction.

The road is faster sure, but that road is going to proprietary hell (total enslavement of humanity).

>Stallman using the term "free software" to define his idea of software respecting user's freedom was a terrible mistake.
Free has always meant freedom, so I don't see how it could be a mistake to refer to free software as free software.

You can also say libre software, or frei software or whatever word means free if you're too afraid to say that free means freedom.

>FOSS seems to take the best of both worlds.
It is actually the worst of both worlds - it induces the reader or listener to assume that free means gratis and that "open source" means source-available.
