This is my last message, I swear. I'm beginning to agree with
Joesph Carter here - this is a waste of time, and a bit scary
coming from a Debian developer.

Like what? Free software people don't patent software, so if RSA had
been under this pure GPL "regime", it would never have been patented,
and hence would have been in the public domain for the last decade. The
RSA people didn't release any software to the public domain, so that's
irrelevant. Your example is totatlly bogus.
