Sneaky, despicable, >and underhanded. While some might have a legitimate disagreement with the FSF's philosophy, it's hard to take an argument seriously when it descends into hyperbole. The GNU license is plastered all over their software, and in fact they make no attempt at being sneaky about things. Despicable? Underhanded? This is getting to be a bit much. I'll take a "sneaky, underhanded, despicable" outfit that gives me free and high-quality products over one that expects me to remain willingly ignorant of the ingredients inside those products any day. -Richard
