Why should there exist a distinction between users and developers?
If more people were educated in the basics of software development, enough to help them in their chosen profession and to understand the technology around them, those people wouldn't be so easy to abuse in the first place. Basically this line of thought is a huge mistake, playing on the tune of the software companies and state agencies that abuse people and break their freedoms.
And in fact, I'm pretty sure that Stallman disagrees with you. After all, this distinction is why he was pissed off and started GNU and the GPL in the first place ;-)
