Quite on the contrary, it is a text by members of the GNU Project for the GNU Project. And the GNU project rejected it. For very good reasons.

May I remind you that we have been elaborating this text from the start on this list, and that this openness is indeed one of our goals? Then please answer why you are not mentioning the stance of the GNU project. I've asked this several times, over now several weeks, and silence. It is written by some GNU maintainers, it is not one that is representative of the GNU project -- since as GNU maintainers you do not speak for the GNU project, I suggest you read Richard Stallman's email on that topic, or the governance document how the GNU projet actually works. So calling it a GNU document or pretending that it is, since that is obviously not true, is just silly.
