   By the way, I've got no gripe with the FSF's use of the word free, nor
   do I object to the conditions imposed by the license.  This makes much
   of the GNU software inaccessible to me at work, but (as they say)
   that's my choice -- just as I obey the GNU copyleft, I also obey the
   little piece of paper that I signed when I came to work here.

What is this?  There are many people at Sun who use GNU software to
get their job done.  Why did you have to sign a paper that requires
otherwise?
