Oh, I don't know, the volume of confused, angry postings from people
is probably one more useful measure of GNU's policies.
Redundancy is useful. And copylefting all works linked with the GNU
runtime library is like copylefting all files edited with GNUemacs.
It makes the tool unusable by the general public, and usable only by FSF.
P.S. I love the GNU project too...
