I thought that it was extremely insightful. However, it did not cite
some of the best examples of the FSF's intentional malevolence (and,
therefore, lack of ethics) and thus could have made stronger arguments.

The dig at FreeBSD was unfortunate. However, it was really more of
a dig at the C language (which truly IS a source of serious bugs and
security holes).
