   I will repeat that as a Board member during the last 3 terms,
we never agreed with this proposal, which is Richard Stallman own 
view on the topic and wasn't so far the opinion of the Board members.
Richard may present this as an "official" policy of the GNOME project,
sorry it is not ! This specific topic was *clearly* stated as not
valid when the Board met the FSF representative at GUADEC in Sevilla
one year and a half ago.
