As am I. One of the things I am most concerned about is the the FSF has been able to fool people into thinking that GPLed software is free software. It isn't - it is software that has been made unfree in a specific way in order to hurt proprietary software (as opposed to helping free software or open source software - if you want to maximize the amount and quality of open source software, the GPL is almost always the wrong choice). Please don't re-iterate this confusion by referring to the Free Software Foundation as if they were in favour of freedom. Thank you. Eivind.
