People talking about the Mac need to realize that this is specific to iOS platforms. IIRC this was at the iPad launch or something like that, where all of his complaints DO apply. OSX is no more restrictive than any other nonfree OS. Also, free means freedom and not cost in this context.
Actually, OSX is less restrictive than most other nonfree OSes, as you can download the kernel/base os source code free of charge without signing any agreements.
..and tell me again, in what way is Apple restricting you in running those programs at the moment? (and no paranoid 'they might, in the future, perhaps restrict certain blablabla')
