In my perfect I would pay for services that take care of setting up FLOSS projects and looking after the daily problems (network, storage, updates, configuration).

I believe this gets at the core of RMS' goal. I don't believe I've ever heard him say he's against people charging money for services, but even if he had, his point is that non-free software is inherently defective. I would also pay money for many of these services, but once I've paid I want the software to answer completely to me - don't hold it hostage.
