I thought you were for the free flow of information. Why do you now want to restrict it? HB> GNU/FSF is better if HB> they do not give out endorsements to particular groups. Why? It is very practical to have a single official maintainer for each GNU package. Are you against FSF "endorsing" Fran�ois Pinard as the official maintainer of M4? Would you find it unethical of FSF or Fran�ois Pinard if he stated the fact in his CV? Or is it only Cygnus who cannot use it for their marketing? Your idea of free software seem way out of line with anything I have seen from FSF or others who actually write it.
