Indeed I do; that's part of my political view. See how quickly the
phrase `blackmail people into a particular political view' becomes
pejorative?

The point is that FSF isn't the only group with a political agenda. So
too do Lotus, Microsoft, and IBM. Each of these groups would like to
convince people that its view of what software is ought to be the
definitive one. Both FSF and software vendors have chosen the same
vehicle--licencing agreements--to enforce their views.
