Note the "if you would have read the thread". Apparently you don't like coherent discussions and prefer to confuse the discussion with completely irrelevant tangents and incoherent ramblings. The issue in question was that RMS claimed that the term "Free Software" and the Free Software Movement becomes increasingly invisible in the public, being replaced by "Open Source". This was one of the reasons given by him for the importance of non-free essays. Joe gave statistical evidence that RMS is indeed correct in his perception of Free Software vs. Open Source. Most of us don't agree with RMS' proposed course of action in response to this, which is a different question. One more hint: If you consider a discussion pointless, if you don't understand what other people are talking about, why not just stay silent? I have not seen any new arguments from you in the last several hundred messages to this list, and it gets tiresome. Lukas P.S.: Please don't Cc me, I read the list. (And no, I don't intend to set some particular header for this, it is list policy here.)
