Extrapolating the trend further, we can expect to see

push for restrictions and licensing on software development tools,

When I first read that essay, I thought he was overreacting, but the
trends of the last few years (e.g., the DMCA, other countries enacting
similar laws, the EU trying to adopt software patents despite the
member states' parliaments voting against them, and the media companies
pushing for even stronger laws) have convinced me that he is absolutely
right to be worried.
And why are you not doing anything about it? Why have you not yet
enlisted in the revolutionary army?
Face it, people - the various nation-states that have mutilated the face
of Mother Earth by graffitiing it with national borders that serve only
to divide people and to pit them against each other are our enemy, the
enemy of humanity and the enemy of all life. Their sole function is to
impose tyranny on humankind, both direct and indirect. The former is
manifest in their "governments" and "laws", or more concretely, in
the
apparatus of repression, persecution, battery and murder which they call
police and military in their "politically correct" speech. The latter
is manifest in these "governments" and "laws" granting a license to
the
other group of criminals against humanity - corporations - to exercise
tyranny of their own, and using the Orwellian police/military apparatus
to shield those corporate criminals from people's rightful justice (such
as a lynching).
This tyranny is fundamentally at odds with the inherent rights of every
human being on Earth, which are life, liberty, integrity of body and
spirit, and realisation of happiness, and it is the duty of every one of
us living on the bosom of Mother Gaia to stand up for our mother planet
in Her time of need, when all Her sweet soil is trampled on by black
souls who have no right to live, much less to rule - it is our duty as
members of the human race, which has been entrusted with dominion and
care of the above-terranean world, to rise up against the tyranny that
is being imposed upon us and upon our planet, and to free the Republic
of Terra of these criminals so that the bosom of Mother Gaia, Her sweet
soil, can be free once again!
This is a call to arms. The tyranny has reached the critical point at
which no citizen of Earth has any moral right to sit idle and watch the
boot stomp on the human face. Every one of you has a duty to take up
arms and declare war against the illegitimate nation-state that
illegally occupies the land you live on.
People of the world, rise up to be Free!
