I am a lawyer. GrSecurity is violating section 6 of version 2 of the
GPL, which is the license in question.
GrSecurity does not have an independent right to create nor distribute
non-separable derivative works of the Work(s) in question. By default
they have NO right to do so.
The copyright
There is importance in the practice of software: the creation there-of.
RMS' clout came from the software work he did. Also programming is fun.
Clout is lost when one moves to far from the corpus of it all. People
say "well he USED to be a programmer". People hold programmers in higher
regard

What context exactly? That might has been wrongly
I really much like the idea that free software allows to keep or even revive
old version, and really dislike the modern trend of “keeping *updated*”, with
the exceptional care about security (well-done and simple programs like TeX
can avoid update and stay secure and bug-less by being simple
It has been noted that GTK1 and GTK2 were the GIMP ToolKit and were
fairly efficient, and allowed the creation of programs that could run on
a wide variety of hardware; however GTK3 is Gnome*'s ToolKit.
GTK1 was lightweight, and fairly straight forward, and was built by the

The famous people attracts more eyes, even if some people don't like
him.
But I'm not sure if his current status is suitable for that advocating
work.
