I have to warn folks that "Linux XP" authors have so far generally acted arrogantly towards Russian free software community and even failed to handle properly accusations of GPL violation (which might be no surprise in Russia where copyright isn't really covering software TTBOMK -- but FSF might look into this as operations go international).

From what I have seen, it's technologically lame group of marketing types at work. Not Robertson type, these are actually seeking a reality sync on them.

DISCLAIMER: I'm contributing to "another Russian Linux distro", ALT Linux (one of the two generally considered as such -- "another another" being ASPLinux). Still, communicating with colleagues on other teams is no problem; unless they have no faith, like this one.

I'd propose to just ignore the company/product for those previously interested in testing/helping (moreso buying), and if anyone FSF reads this -- you might be really interested to get them into compliance.
