I don't like software that violates your privacy. In that sense I agree with Stallman. But if people work hard to create a program, its their right to sell it and profit from it. No one is forcing you to buy it. Computer programs aren't sacred objects distinct from other commodities. Install Linux and use the freeware versions of popular programs if you want to.

I mean you can't force kids to say what they think. you can ask them tho. so if they bring software why should you force them to share source code.

In the context of education, he was meant to say that we should teach them that sharing is a good morale deed rather than forcing them to give source code.

+Psychonauter He avoids anything created by the Coca Cola company which is a lot (even Oasis drinks are Coca Cola). But I think that's unrelated to free software and more about their business practices and their exploitation of their employees. This is a direct quote from his own website: "I uphold the total boycott of Coca Cola Company, which is a response to the murder of union organizers in Colombia and Guatemala. I will not use any of that company's products and I hope you will reject them too".

Ok, but did you miss the part where Stallman said that proprietary software shouldn't exist at all? This means he doesn't agree with the idea of charging money for software. Also, he argued fervently that copyright laws shouldn't apply anymore and that you should be legally able to copy and distribute any software you want. It seems to me that he doesn't like the idea of people profiting from software.

There are other ways to make profit out of your software, for example providing support and training or having some people/company commission you to develop software. Some companies also sell distribution of open source software that they develop packaged with proprietary add on. Stallman also said that it's alright to sell your software, as long as you make your source code accessible, though I think it won't work.

Who controls people searching for security holes in sourcecodes to get into systems? Who controls people implementing pseudo-bugs in "free software" that are security holes under specific conditions? Who pays the bills for the developers who develop free software? Naive "support" plans? I am not against free software i like it. But this concept has some open problems.
