(1) I personally have no interest at all in being a distributor of CDs
for the FSF.
(2) I suspect the FSF would lend legal expertise anyways, if we ask them
and actually need it
(3) I generally view the FSF with a bit of healthy suspicion, though I of

acknowledge that they have done a lot of good.
