I say perceived because the FSF campaigns team might do all sorts of stuff for gNS, but its not public/obvious. My other thought goes something like 'why should the fsf stop gNS becoming no complient?'. If it does, the FSF should stop supporting/endorsing it. If it doesn't, then it should be able to roll along as it needs/wants. kk -- Karl Goetz, (Kamping_Kaiser / VK5FOSS) Debian user / gNewSense contributor http://www.kgoetz.id.au No, I won't join your social networking group _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
