Don't know what this has to do with comp.archives.admin, nor why I was
just reading this group, but there are plenty of LPF'ers who are not at
all in the FSF camp. Witness Richard Gabriel, technical director of
Lucid, Inc. (A Common LISP house; Sun Common LISP is really Lucid),
Guy Steele of Thinking Machines (author of _Common LISP, the Language_ and
a central designer of Common LISP), and Patrick Henry Winston, Director
of the MIT AI Lab (but also an author of the proprietary San Marco
LISP Explorer that Gold Hill markets). Also, I think the new LPF president
is a very well-known "mainstream" software guy, with long ties to the
Defense industry and other things that FSF wouldn't like.
