My opinion is the latter. Unfortunately, the only ones they punish is mac
users. What they say is that the FSF wants there to be freedom for programmers
to write what they want. This is a _political_ agenda. I agree with the goal,
however if FSF/LPF does not contact Clinton within the next month, my respect
for their political views will be knocked down a peg or three.
