doesn't that seem just a bit.. harsh? Its a reply that more preaches then it ask for some form of change or a slap on the back. Its a little to stiff and strong worded, making it something I'd imagine on a lawyer's letterhead. I believe you wish to tell him that: 1. You were extremely happy to see a member of the media question the legal status of the GPL. (Do this in not a manner saying that BSD is better, but rather that its nice that not everyone is linux crazy). 2. You would like BSD to be mentioned in future articles. (Such as, he says that the GPL will be revised to make corperate America happy - the BSD liscense has already done this for quite some time). 3. That you beleive, after long happy usage, that FreeBSD is truly the operating system of the future. While Linux has its merits, and you respect them, FreeBSD has many plusses that you find far outway Linux's current atractions. Basicly you did the above.. just don;t make him feel critisized or on the defensive.. loosen it up!
