I've seen other statements on this thread indicating that the SC will essentially give in to any demand from RMS. It seems we have collectively struck a bad deal that requires us to go against our own better judgment... can we renegotiate?

That sounds like a better deal, but it isn't the one we actually have. Instead it seems to me that we can only make certain kinds of progress by neglecting to mention them to RMS. Or has somebody told him about C++ project yet? :-) Tom
