If you want to use the GPL, go right ahead, but please don't call
GPLed software `free.' It is far from `free as in free speech' because
there are a large number of uses which the GPL does not allow. Calling
the GPL `free' in light of this is simply an attempt to confuse the issue.
Poor Richard! He led the way into free software but is now trying to
hold us back as we stream past him into a future of software even
freer than he ever imagined.
