I assume the article is a troll. FSF and GPL are about user freedom. Nobody who has been in software for "decades" could misinterpret that. Some choice quotes that lead me to the conclusion:

"I think GPLv4 should focus on protecting and encouraging companies to contribute"

"It simply shocks the conscience. Companies are people"

"Allow for walled gardens to have an open space"

Also, please note it is from 2014, so there's no need to dignify it with a response.
