Could people actually *READ* the text instead of relying one a single sentence of it? The text also says: “ the GNU Project, which creates and distributes a software system that respects users' freedoms ” Which very precisely is about being able to only use free software. But that doesn't *forbid* people from using other software, why would it? That'd be exclusive for sure, but that's not the goal. Samuel
