That we distribute it is uncontroversial. I believe RMS has asserted in the past that the very fact that we distribute it constitutes a tacit endorsement, and thus a "recommendation". I say this just to save RMS the trouble of addressing the point, if I have characterized his position accurately. In my opinion, there is some merit to the argument that distribution constitutes tacit endorsement, whether RMS personally shares that view or not. -- G.
