Look back at your own postings from the last month, and you'll see
them.  You carefully explained, point by point, exactly why you thought
FSF was legally correct in regard to gmp/RIPEM.  I used your post as a
model and applied those arguments to languages.

Also, note carefully that I didn't say FSF made these claims with regard
to languages.  I said that the arguments used for gmp/RIPEM could be used
with languages.
