And in my opinion, PLF is not about Mandriva, and it's not about non-Stallman users, and it's not about being useful. I joined and contributed under the belief that it was about raising awareness of the gray areas of intellectual property in general. And I'll pretty much divorce myself of the organization in general if that is not the case.
