Nice troll. There are some valid points. It is in this case that the
interaction between the different open source licensing groups does
*still* after all these years need to be smoothed out.
However, keep in mind that
1) a license is simply another tool
2) some[1] outside FOSS would like nothing better than
to divide FOSS up and set the factions against each other
So if you heart's set on yammering at the FSF, then find a constructive
way of resolving the workflow problems between the different teams.
Bickering with or harranging the FSF is less useful than coding,
documenting, debugging or teaching.
Or...
Speaking of freedom, tomorrow (Saturday, September 16th, 2007) is
Software Freedom Day. Many here, if interested in promoting freedom,
should make sure of an OpenBSD presence:
http://softwarefreedomday.org/
Spending half an hour talking up the advantages of and possibilities for
OpenBSD with random strangers is certain to give a better return on
investment than yammering about licenses to fix a workflow problem.
Or if systems are not your thing, then spend half an hour talking up the
advantages of [1] open protocols, formats and specification which are
leveraged by OpenBSD.
