I'm confused.  You appear to be arguing against Mathew's position,
but then you give this accurate, yet denigratingly phrased, summary
of the FSF philosophy, as expressed in the GPL.  (I.e., "changes
made to GPL'ed code by other people belong to FSF, and naturally
so too does the FSF's own original work.")

What point are you trying in your last sentence?
