 The free software movement is the real deal. But Apple has captured the counterculture image with advertising. When most people think "geek chic" or "computer counterculture" Apple comes to mind, not Linux. It must be pretty galling to the free software people, who know how closed Apple's system is -- and I'm guessing this is partly why Professor Moglen dislikes Apple so much.

"The obvious answer is greed. Early entrants to the computer/internet marketplace stumbled upon a goldmine. Everything has its price."

I think that certain early entrants to the marketplace might have sold out. Others did not. I would be interested to see how this story could include both those who did sell out and those who didn't in both movements and the influence that those idealists continue to make.
