The GPL and the FSF are *very* clear about what the GPL is for, and what
the "freedoms" are.
Someone needs to start educating Neelie Kroes about this, as Microsoft
are in the processing of finessing her defeat of Microsoft into a total
Microsoft victory against open-source, therefore, against European
software development.
Again, Microsoft's lunch-budget surely has a large impact on this.
