GNU/FSF is better if >they do not give out endorsements to particular groups. But Cygnus's claim corresponds to reality: FSF really does assign official coordinators to each project and many of them are Cygnus personnel. Why shouldn't they be able to brag about it? FSF is not giving out an "endorsement" here: they don't have enough paid staff to do the work in house; they *must* find outside skilled volunteers to take the work on. -- -- Joe Buck <jbuck@synopsys.com> (not speaking for Synopsys, Inc) Phone: +1 415 694 1729
