what i was talking about and what you are!! you are exactly
putting your words on my mouth. i was talking about the decision about what
makes logo better, GIMP or PhotoShop and you started talking about FSF's
decision. FSF is free to make any decision and i have no control over that.
but as long as i will find anything wrong with them, i will continue to
protest against them for the same reason i protest against M$ and SCO.

there is a certain difference between one's privates mechines and
public websites. i also stick to my idea of freedom as mentioned in the
