Sure, it was just rhetoric.
However, some GNU applications have a concern to improve the accessibility and
PSPP can benefit from a developer who wants to work at it. PSPP is not required
by law, but may be useful and accessible if a volunteer developer working on it.

I think the FSF lawyers would refer everyone to the GPL and it's
waivers of suitability.
How would an application like PSPP be compliant or non-compliant
with ADA? This website:
http://www.interactiveaccessibility.com/services/ada-compliance
(which surely isn't legal advice) suggests that ADA does not apply
to applications like PSPP (or, for that matter, SPSS) because they
are not “places of public accommodation.”
But this is ultimately a question for the lawyers who would defend
someone subject to the ADA (e.g., YSU), not for software developers.

This element can
also be considered as an
improvement to present as topic in the google summer of code. (high
contrast icons,
integration with orca, etc).

Greetings.
We are interested in knowing if PSPP is compliant with the
standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Thanks.
