I can argue with it because it's not true.  No piece of its software has
been distributed with a non-free license; do you have evidence to the
contrary?

NOTHING in the GPL or any other free license requires you to distribute
your source before you distribute your binaries, only WHEN you
distribute your binaries.

Was Linux non-free before Linus' first upload?
