Hi Andrew,
Apart from not being an idiot, I could well
imagine Stallman would consider this to be a
serious concern also.
His concerns about Ubuntu are valid when you
examine his overall aim. Though I can see what he
means, I'm less doctrinaire (which is either a
failing in me or not) than he is and so am more
willing to negotiate away some rights for a little
'soft and fluffy'.
One doesn't need to be concerned about only one
thing at a time.
Regards,
Patrick

Richard Stallman is an idiot to worry about ubuntu so much that it's not in
the FSF list of "free" software. May be much much more important things to
be concerned about. As the Iranian proverb goes:"a drowning man doesn't
worry about rain".
