Nothing at all prevents libre software from being absolutely wretched.
The term merely denotes right to fork code and use it for any
purpose without fee, as detailed in your choice of 'free software'
definitional document (FSF's or Debian's being the usual two, either
being for practical purposes same as OSD, modulo marketing focus).

His point, there, of Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton having had mistaken
understanding of what libsystemd0 is, is IMO well taken. À chacun son
goût, but personally I'd soul-search if I (often) found myself in LKCL
company on said gent's causes.

It's difficult to read nuance over mailing list postings, but if
Steve's phrase 'has history here' implies above-cited page of posts
shows Mr. Hughes somehow worthy of being viewed with alarm, FWIW I'm not
seeing it. OTOH, Steve's view might well be supported elsethread (or
this is just a matter of opinion, which also happens).

(Disclaimer: Haven't bothered following Mr. Hughes's recent whatevers.
Just got my attention drawn by first quotation cited, whisch impelled me
to don my licensing-geek hat, and speak.)
