Richard's words are the essence of the Free Software Foundation and
    the GNU General Public License: people _must_ use free software,
    people _can_ decide whether to use free software or not, but people
    _must not_ be free to exercise that desire.

That is not what I said.  See several other postings of mine today for
a statement of my views.

    // Check whether this is good shit
    if (allows(project, free_software) && ! allows(project, non_free_software))
           add_to_list(project);

If you replace "allows" with "contains or recommends"
then it will accurately reflect what I said.

    Since The Free Software foundation mission is to "preserve, protect
    and promote the freedom to use, study, copy, modify, and redistribute
    computer software" (free software), please, Richard, remove Linux from
    the Free Software Directory (since "Torvalds' version of Linux is not
    free software", and that is the version listed in the directory);

I will ask the person who maintains the directory to remove Linux
or else point to a free version of it.  Thank you for pointing out
this problem.
