Followups to gnu.misc.discuss, since this has little to do with unix
shells.

Are you spreading misinformation through ingorance or malice? While I
don't speak for the FSF, the FSF does not consider that using FSF code
makes your code become theirs. If you use their code in your programs,
the copyright belongs to you both. If you wish to distribute this
code, you have to do so in a mutually agreeable form. The FSF tells
you up front what their terms are. 

What the FSF is doing is by no stretch of the imagination theft.
