[...] Again, this doesn't really belong in comp.archives.admin, so this is my last comment :-) Sorry if I gave that impression. I was responding to a poster who was opposed to much of the FSF position, and then said, more or less, "isn't LPF the same?" Most of my posting was trying to show that the LPF had ties to the "proprietary software" folks. I did not intend that last sentence as being inflammatory or anti-FSF; the whole post was trying to say that the LPF was quite distinct from FSF. I was trying to show differences between LPF and the real or assumed positions of FSF and its more visible members. I absolutely intended no indictment of FSF! - Marty ------------------------------------------------------ hall@aplcen.apl.jhu.edu, hall%aplcen@jhunix.bitnet, ..uunet!aplcen!hall Artificial Intelligence Lab, AAI Corp, PO Box 126, Hunt Valley, MD 21030 (setf (need-p 'disclaimer) NIL)
