I personally think that the FSF would do much, much better at defending free software if they operated in accordance with Debian. Debian-legal has proved better at guaranteeing the FSF's 'four freedoms' in practice than RMS, what with the GFDL and all. Let's face it: the FSF didn't create a full free-software system. Debian did. The FSF didn't even create the majority of the GNU project tools. Volunteers did, and many of them *disagree* with the FSF leadership. Discussions of the merits of FSF policy are forbidden on FSF mailing lists, with the exception of a few which appear to go to /dev/null. The FSF is, bizarrely, a top-down autocratic organization, with all the flaws that implies. Debian isn't, with all the benefits and flaws that implies. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
