I don't think that's what you really mean to say. There's nothing
wrong per se with creating better software, or getting involved
in a more fun development model. :) There's nothing wrong with
those particular values.

I support Free Software, but as a pragmatist - I also support using
the best tool for the job (taking into account long-term costs and
risks). Whether software is Free should be a factor to consider,
but not a factor that overrides everything else. Some things are
actually more important than free software - a statement with
which I am certain RMS would concur.
