Nah, the discussion is over. Your suggestion of me donating code to the FSF shows you have totally missed the point.
Why should I donate a few thousand lines of my own code to them because you donate 10 lines to us? Go away. You are just being rude. I can write the lines myself. I personally think you came here with an agenda all along. It is just too convenient that you happen to appear within a couple of days of the GMP release, you just happen to own a very old machine which they have optimised for and we have not, you just happen to know all about coding for GMP, you just happen to like the FSF. It's all too convenient for me. I smell a rat. I won't reply on this issue again. Goodbye.
