RMS didn't understand this paragraph, and neither did I. Would you
please clarify?

If you did this because of RMS or his GPL then I think all of us owe him
a big 'thank you'.
Andre, I've been following this list for at least two years. Although I
contribute nothing except an occasional bug report I care about what
happens here and I and I care about the people who do contribute. I know
that includes you -- in a big way.
Please let me make some observations:
1) I admire anyone who speaks more than one language. I suspect that
includes you.
2) Much of the time I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
(I'll bet you a Porsche that I'm not the only one ;-)
3) You'll make back your expenses a lot faster if you'll get rid of
the Porsche.
4) I thank you for all your contributions to Open Source. I benefit
from your work every day and I want you to know that I appreciate it.
