Nobody, including RMS, is arguing AFAIK about the propriety
of running or selling proprietary software (e.g. games) atop
a GNU/Linux operating system.
One issue is bundling non-free software with GPL'd software,
which would be wrong and a GPL violation.
Here the reality seems to be bundling _links_ to
installation of non-free software with a GNU/Linux
distribution. RMS is wondering aloud what message this
sends to the community.
I think it's a reasonable question, though such actions
clearly are not something one wants to prohibit or punish.
Message taken. I should write some game software (free) for
Linux and send a good message. YMMV
regards, hm

And since I choose to not have DRM'd software on my computer - I'm not
infringing Copyright Law nor preventing said product owner from selling their
work to others!
What's truly ironic is that somehow - in the eyes of some
pro-DRM individuals - somehow I'm the bad guy because I choose not to use their
software. It's almost like they believe they have a right to force me to do
business with them.
