Having read some of the discussion on this newsgroup I think I have to
draw the following conclusions:

1) As the originator of the software FSF has the right to pose any license
   conditions they want on the software they publish.
2) Some might even be enforcible.
3) Nobody is forced to use GNU stuff.
4) Discussions about politics usually don't get anywhere.

So if I want to sell the software I write, I make sure no parts are
copyleft FSF.
Accept that there may be differences of opinion.
I'm against taxes. R.M.S. is against software hoarding.
It's my right to try to get taxes abolished.
So why should R.M.S. and his associates not have the legal and moral
right to seek to change this. If he does it in such a way that FSF
sinks into oblivion, then that's his problem.

Ge' Weijers.
