Furthermore Mikey went on to split hairs about stallman claiming that stallman was only a member of the free software community.

As Jeff has pointed out, Stallman would not agree that Mikey was splitting hairs. Stallman is very keen to distance himself from Open Source, for example:

We are not against the Open Source movement, but we don't want to be lumped in with them. We acknowledge that they have contributed to our community, but we created this community, and we want people to know this. We want people to associate our achievements with our values and our philosophy, not with theirs. We want to be heard, not obscured behind a group with different views. To prevent people from thinking we are part of them, we take pains to avoid using the word ``open'' to describe free software, or its contrary, ``closed'', in talking about non-free software.

(From the Essay 'Why ``Free Software'' is better than ``Open Source'''

I suppose in that case we should subtract any GPLed code from the contributions of the ipwars community. The GPL is free software after all.
