I think it's a bit silly, but the difference is that RMS would be incapable of saying "I welcome 3rd party [proprietary] developers building software on the platform".
I could say such a thing...but I won't, because it could give people the wrong idea. I'd rather say something subtly different, such as "We encourage third party developers to make their software work with GNOME, and we encourage them to make their software free, so that it contributes to the free software community." _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
