i apologize for the use of strong words.  i believe that i was rather upset
by various postings and email flames.  i will try to be more calm.

that is incorrect.  my articles have one point:
cygnus presents itself as a free-software organization, yet it hinders the
distribution of some of the free-software it enhances.  i have written 
testimony of various versions of the distribution mechanisms.  the people
who work for cygnus themselves do not agree on all points.  some argue that
all software is distributed essentially to the net first, some argue that
there are software that are never distributed except directly from them (to
cygnus' own customers).  if you believe that intentional delay and/or
hoarding of software is consistent with GNU, you may argue that point.
i disagree.
