Well, both, and more.  LPF is the principal organization calling for the
boycott.  All LPF members and supporters are (or at least should be)
calling for the boycott.  (They should certainly all be participating in
the boycott.)

For those who haven't been following the discussions, FSF is explicitly
concerned that some people who don't take part in the boycott aid the
boycotted companies with FSF software.  gnu.* are FSF's groups and mailing
lists, so you see more traffic from them here than from LPF.

> What other companies are being boycotted?

Apple, Ashton-Tate, Lotus, Xerox.
