hi all. here is what i feel.
war is something, where banks win and people loose. i hoped FSF was not
a politically oriented organization.
makes me sad, seeing how FSF rushes to be "politically correct" in the
world run by propaganda machines.
agitprop is what i see, which is to say it obviouslly works.
to make it clear, i am not the side of some country nor some army nor
some soldiers (poor souls, not to mention civilians), but on the side of
peace. once someone during a war takes side, he/she becomes a soldier.
sad is what i am.

ps
live by the sword die by the sword is what bible says

This has come up time and time again in regards to limiting access to all sorts of other undesirables, and the bottom line is that as long as they are complying w/ the licenses (i.e. copylefting changes, etc.) they can't be cut off...
