Um. You were doing alright up until the last sentence, in making your screed against Stallman and the FSF. But, as for the GNU goal of making a clone of the Unix system, and releasing the pieces as they were usable, we *know* how well that worked out. Extremely well: it improved the state of the art for the Unix tools, was (and is) used in a vast array of places, and provided the basis and example for the creation of fully FOSS operating systems.

If that success is what you are comparing Stallman's GPL-your-JavaScript efforts to, you are giving it the highest of praise.
