No, I don't! That's exactly what the article is talking about! I want to 
release code that I wrote 100% myself that includes no source or object code 
that anyone else has written. And the FSF is trying to find a way to force 
me to release that as GPL by crippling their own software.

How come I can write code that interfaces with Linux without violating the 
GPL, but I can't write a plug-in for GCC without violating the GPL?
