How would you enforce any license without a state? The point of a license is that when someone violates it you can take them to court. The judicial system is a part of the state.
That’s not the extent of software freedom. You can personally modify someone else’s free software if you want. But if you are providing the modified software to others, either as a free or a paid product, then you have to provide the users with a copy of the modified source code. Modifying GPL licensed code and using it commercially without supplying the modified source code is the primary source of free software license violations.
yeah they have totally incoherent ideologies which are all centered around selfishness, and again, thinking they are smarter and better than people who don’t know whatever they know. They reinvent eugenics every time.

what do you mean free does not means free of state?
