FSF not involved in BSD/Linux license dispute

FSF not involved in BSD/Linux license dispute

Parent article: The case of the unwelcome attribution

The article should have pointed out that the following quote is false:

... instead of admitting the mistake and making the needed corrections, FSF has pulled out their lawyers in hopes of getting away with the theft.

There's no evidence FSF is involved, and FSF responded to the quoted post saying it is not involved.

I guess some people think the FSF is behind everything licensed under GPL. Or maybe someone quoted an FSF expert on GPL at some point in the discussion.
