I think the guys at the FSF should realize that if you actually have to ask 
 >them< for counsel instead of using the services of a lawyer that you are 
not doing particulary well and thus don't have much money. And that you are 
dependent on the few bucks you >may< make with your program. Besides - 
people with money usually don't care about laws, they have lawers to 
deceive, bend and pervert the laws as they like. I bet the guys at the FSF 
are not all volunteers but get paid for their work, one way or another.

This reminds me of an internet company here in Germany. I asked them what a 
certain paragraph in their terms and conditions actually meant, giving an 
example and asking if this would be allowed or not. They just answered: we 
do not comment our own contracts - we refuse to tell you what we actually 
mean. But why don't you just sign the contract? No joke!
