Sigh.  Sigh.  Sigh.  Careless writing + careless reading + world-wide
dissemination of the misunderstanding = USENET.  And, of course,
it's even better if you get REALLY EXCITED when you reply.

"This makes MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH of the GNU software
inaccessible to me at work..."

MUCH != ALL.

And, of course, I meant (but did not say) in the sense that it would
be foolish to incorporate GNU software into code that we intend to
   (a) sell binaries of and
   (b) keep source private.
And, of course, I don't make the decisions about the publication
status of the code that I write here.
