schestowitz> Oh, thank you thank you thank you. Feel free to use it whenever it suits you to. I can't imagine that the GNU project is going to let this practice continue without comment or a strong suggestion-- the latter would hopefully suffice.

schestowitz> I don't think sacrificing GNU at Microsoft's digital altar is a freedom-respecting method they want to promote. User practices aside-- which I'm glad the article stresses the user's own decision-making in (people who are forced to "convert" are less likely to experience a meaningful or substantial change in what they do) I hope the FSF will not grow softer in its own practices. The GNU project certainly should not.May 06 14:10
