Papering over a binary blob

Yeah, I don't know why people care either. But, I also hope people don't start thinking of the FSF as irrelevant. On the one hand, many of the specific things they do are pretty useless or cringe-worthy. On the other, I more or less agree with their principles, and am really glad that there are people willing to stand up and make "radical" claims like "moral considerations are relevant to software development" -- it keeps the Overton window open wider. That's the most important thing they do, IMHO, and it's as relevant as ever.
