   [responding to Richard Stallman]
   Of course, we should ignore, in this discussion, those people who
   write truly free code (Public Domain) yet refuse to use GNU code
   because they do not want *their* code being inflicted with a
   liscense they consider morally repugnant.  After all, bringing up
   those people into the discussion would harm your point.

Why ignore them?  The existence of the GNU license, or the availability
of code licensed with the GNU license does not prevent such people
from using their own license for their own code.

Variety is fun.
