Darren, you definitely misunderstood me ;)

I'm not making the FSF's point of view my own - not at all. I just wanted to
sketch what they say about the Big Bad Companies, and counterpose it whith what
can be said about the FSF itself, to show the flaws in their arguments. Salted
with some deal of sarcasm. Sorry to got you confused ;)

(Unless I'm understanding *you* wrong and what you're currently saying is that I
have no idea of what the FSF is really saying.... in that case, I can assure you
I have: That *is* the FSF's view of things, according to my first-hand
perception of the statements on their internet site. So no spreading of rumors
here.)
