I am increasingly less impressed with Eben Moglen's recent activity.

This "move along, nothing to see here" statement is breathtaking in its disingenuity. SFLC was happy to coexist with SFC until SFLC drifted so far from its mission that they now publicly disagree with longstanding SFC principles, and then attacked.

If SFLC had a problem with SFC's name, the time to complain was when they became aware of SFC, i.e. at its inception. Not acting at that time lost them any high ground. I am not a lawyer, but as I understand trademark law, that lost them the legal high ground they are now squatting.
