    I don't think the FSF wants the elimination of copyright and I didn't
    intend that in my earlier post.  My guess is that the FSF would welcome
    a law that said all software should be released with a copyleft license.

The FSF would welcome a legal requirement to make all software free
but does not advocate one now.  It would be too drastic a change
for the current situation.
