If what you are saying were true, then any and all forms of
licensing would be blackmail.  GNU can't blackmail me if I
don't agree with their "political view" because I can simply
not use it.

Why are you trying to vilify the FSF when at _worst_ they are
not doing anything more than commercial outfits?  If you're
saying that all software should be PD, then you're being even
more dogmatic than the FSF... if not, then what's wrong with
their license vs. Generic Machine Corporation's, or Macrosoft's?

I really don't understand the people who keep jumping on the
FSF... it totally puzzles me.  What is their motivation?  It
doesn't seem to make any sense... but then, I suppose much of
human behavior doesn't (sigh!)
