If I reckon correctly, the scandalized piece of criticism was of FSF Europe, not of RMS or "The FSF". Unless you mean a different one? In any case, the FSF never liked Sourceforge right from the start, as evident by Savannah, which goes back quite some time. I think they have more in disagreement than the current conditions of use. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
