I completely agree. I don't really care what RMS and the others say,
in my opinion, not citing that book is ``hiding'' information from me
and doing that makes me feel cheated. I think the many of the ideals
of the FSF and LPF are great and needed, but I can't support an
organization that attempts to ``hide'' information from me because of
their political beliefs.
Just my opinion,
Kevin
