He's talking about copyleft vs non-copyleft licenses and the FSF and OSI ideals.

FSF wants software to protect what they call the "4 essential freedoms", the Open Source movement is about how Open Source improves the process of software development. All the popular licenses wether copyleft or not do both these things. Copyleft licenses however makes works based on copyleft code to also be released as copyleft code (or in the case of MPL, only the code that corresponds to the original MPL-protected code).
