As I understand it, this is false, and it would be a bad idea
anyway. Members of the FSF and LPF are against patents on
algorithms, as well as user interface patents and copyrights.
Few people are objecting to the ability to copyright your own
sources or binaries. In fact, in the absence of copyrights,
FSF itself could not prevent commercial exploitation of
GNU software.
