As someone who has reaped (and continues to reap) the benefits of the GPL, I
want to THANK all of the excellent people who are devoting their time and
effort to producing the Hurd. Not being a programmer myself, I have not
tested the already functional snapshots of the work-in-progress that have
been made available to the public. But I am familiar with its goals and
ideas, and am filled with admiration for the concepts and those who
developed them. I look forward to the day when I can try the Hurd out
myself, even though I use Linux and am quite happy with it.

Given the ever growing threat of laws that might limit or prevent internet
access (whatever one's opinion on the ultimate plausibility of such a
thing), as well as the precarious nature of free software in general (the
GPL, for one, has yet to be tested in court), there do seem to be more
important items on the agenda than whether the Hurd will be useful when it
is more nearly completed.
