How does a freely available tutorial on a programming language have anything to do with someone's position on free software?

Check out how well their windows-rs project supports cross compilation. It also requires proprietary components to be present. Meanwhile winapi, the project windows-rs is a competitor for requires neither.

I still don’t see the link between what you say and this rust tutorial.
