The main feature of a new name is to lose RMS control. From what I can see the FSF is an cult that worships RMS who has become a little full of himself and has abandoned logic and scientific process. He has no concept of IP at all and wants to put GNU in front of everything as if he had personally invented all software. He's more like a cat spraying everything to mark it with his scent than someone who is contributing in a meaningful way. It's late - and I'm on a rant. I suppose it's a metaphor for a divorce from RMS. Just getting tired of his bullshit. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
