Just think of what would happen if Cygnus did that: thousands, well,
dozens, of people would write flames about how Cygnus was profiting
from the work of the FSF without given them due credit.

Or are you just saying that Cygnus should not describe the non-GNU
(but always free) software it distributes as GNU software?  So far as
I know, it doesn't.  You can look at the Cygnus Web page yourself to
check the truth of this (http://www.cygnus.com/).

I am an employee of Cygnus Support.  I do not speak for it.
