Hi Yasu, The FSF backs the GPL and the GPL is based on the use of author rights, copyrights, patents and tradenarks. Author rights, copyrights, patents and trademarks are not necessarily rights as many of these words may suggest, but alternatives to the secrecy that can help those who create new things or bring new knowledge from those who accumulate power trough resource allocation or rhetoric. The problem is that most of these legal entities can they threaten freedom to users/ developers and be easily converted in assets giving more power to those who control resource allocation instead to the who bring new knowledge. The GPL, at least for software, can revert both problems and still being a good alternative to secrecy. The GPL is still no so effective in keeping the knowledge encoded bt software safe from abuses from rhetoric. From the above I do not beleive the FSF will support abolishing author rights, copyrights, patents and tradenarks, excepting software patens. In case the FSF yes will do I will not support it.
