There's a difference between aligning and coinciding. If my goals coincided 
exactly with the FSF, you would be completely right. But if they differ even 
a tiny fraction, then the possibility exists that another license is more 
suited to my purposes. That's why multiple political parties exist in free 
nations, and why multiple free licenses should exist for Free Software.
