As a note, RMS just wrote me back:
I don't think this should be a part of the definition
of free software. Rather, it is a part of the definition
of free software that is useful for a free OS.
Perhaps free-sw.html should say a little about that issue as well
as its current topic.
He's countered my point with a good, rational argument, and so I am
changing my vote accordingly:
[4] ACCEPT freedom to boycott, and change the DFSG accordingly
[3] ACCEPT freedom to boycott, but only change the definition of `main'
[1] ACCEPT freedom to boycott, but only create a `pure' subset of `main'
[ ] REJECT freedom to boycott, and maintain the status quo
[ ] REJECT freedom to boycott, and ban all future discussion
[2] FURTHER DISCUSSION
