I am not arguing this; there are plenty of people out there who have the *perception* that we are Bolsheviks. This proposal will give more fuel to their fire (can you see the Slashdot comments on an article about this plan? I certainly can imagine some, and many of the names on them won't be those of trollers). I don't think RMS is a Bolshevik. I haven't quite decided *what* he is (I suspect he's what Europeans would call a socialist, which really doesn't mean anything anymore in the Blair-Schroeder era... but I digress ;-). > Also, please don't put words into the mouth of Mr. Stallman.
