Systemd may be free, but it's approach to agglomerating function after
function, and becoming a requirement for more and more other software -
is an affront to software freedom. That MIGHT be, or become, of
interest & concern to him. It really is time to start raising the issue
through the FSF - on the libreplanet-discuss email list, at the annual
conference, etc.
It might also be of interest to Eric Raymond (Cathedral & The Bazaar).
It might be time to make systemd-free a "campaign" (in the same sense as
"anybrowser").
