   Okay why name it GNU or associate the FSF? Why not call it foobar
   software and thats it? They want the credibility that comes along
   with association with GNU/FSF which I believe will eventually
   only serve to impugn the reputation and credibility of GNU and FSF.

Ahah.  The discussion comes to the fundamental issue.  I believe that
the efforts of companies like Cygnus will not impugn the reputation of
the FSF or of the GNU project.  Rather, they serve to enhance it,
because it shows that there is viability in the software beyond a
bunch of university hackers.  

There are a number of companies out there who are using GNU tools to
build their crown jewels, because they are the best available.  Many
of those wouldn't consider using them *unless* someone like Cygnus
were around to provide support.  


   Besides what difference does it make about what I say? I'm probably
   in everyone's kill ring by now. ;>)

Because I believe that anyone who engages in reasonable discourse
deserves to be given a chance, you're not in *my* kill ring.  Then
again, maybe I'm also in everyone's kill ring by now, and we're just
cc: gnu-misc-discuss for no real reason.
